The team headed off Easter Monday at 9:30pm from the Tullamarine Airport with a number of GSE dignitaries seeing us off. Our sincere thanks to Mani, Sherwani, Peter, Alan, our clubs and families for giving us such a warm send off.Our flights over were all good - with the only incident being that Rod "lost" his glasses before we set off from Melbourne!! Alas he did find them in his bag when we arrived at Dubai - not before he wore Leah's pair of glasses so he could read on the plane.. yes, he did look pretty..
After a 14hour flight we arrived at the Dubai airport looking a bit weary... and then lined up again to travel to Manchester (7.5hr flight)
Upon arriving at Manchester, we were warmly greeted by Richard Bird, John Ward and Geoff Oldham who kindly drove us to the Barton Grange Hotel, where we were to stay for the night.
