Frosty, Well done you and what wonderful news for your son. Have you warned him concerning what rugby will do to his skiing knees in years to come!

genepi, Hurtle, no we think it will be fine, seems to be a sprain of the medial ligament but little prospect of a quick comeback/fitness in time for this coming 2 massive weeks . A long story but his season has been huge highs and lows, and we were on a massive high, really going places, in the middle of a fabulous coaching programme with the start of the matches next sunday.

one single pang of excitement. Am sure it will change.
We set off friday night

To get to Gatwick for friday you really need to set off on Thursday, have a look at the weather forecast for the beautiful South East.

We set off friday night and so far I have not felt one single pang of excitement.

I'm feeling the same at the moment (we are setting off on Friday afternoon for Les Gets - via the M25/M20 and Eurotunnel)
I just can't wait until I've got the packing, travelling with wife & 3 kids, getting the chalet keys and sorting the hire gear out of the way and be standing at the top of my first run on Sunday with a big smile on my face.
Glad to hear the injury isn't as bad as it first sounded.

Hmm, BBC forecast is showing Kent being pretty bad but round M25 to Gatwick OK, hope so anyway that's the route I'm taking in the early hours of saturday morning.

All the forecasts I have seen are predicting heavy snow for Kent on Thursday night. I think you'll be fine for Gatwick and I'm praying the M20 in darkest Kent will be clear for Friday evening.
Also when we had the heavy snow a couple of weeks ago the motorways were all still clear and flowing.

Frosty the Snowman, my son(Skidog)had that injury, it troubled him on and off for a few years while he grew.
In a nutshell (as explained to us) the growing stretches the ligament and once strained it tries to heal but the growing counteracts the healing as the ligament doesn't get a chance to settle.
It as never a bad problem, but at times it kept him off hard sport.
Get him to wear some knee support and keep it warm when out in the mountains...and especially important to stretch and warm up before skiing (How many of us do that even though we know we should?)
He should be fine....have fun!

Frosty the Snowman, hope it'll be OK - I can imagine that this kind of opportunity doesn't come up more than once or twice in a lifetime, and being out of action for the critical period could be disastrous. Fingers crossed.

Frosty the Snowman, glad he's on the mend. I vaguely remember the days of healing quickly.

Frosty the Snowman, Wish your son good luck with the games. The physio treatment in rugby academies is first class. My wife is a physio manager and pretty hard on most sports physio but has been very impressed the care and rehab our son is getting at Bristol.
I'd echo the wearing of a support and after either playing or skiing elevated, ice and compress almost regardless.
Stick a few on the Welsh!

Frosty the Snowman, so sorry It does seem that bad things happen to nice people, but everything crossed, and prayers being said, for some kind of nice outcome.

Latest update: A piece of plastic has moved in the joint and they are going to try and manipulate it back in the morning, if not he goes under the knife. Under the circumstances this appears to be a good result. They will put it to the kids when they get in from school if they want to go or not.

Frosty the Snowman, Oh dear. Here's hoping you get there with as many fit players as possible. Special wishes for the hip re-build to continue to go well - I guess that's what the family are most anxious about. They are lucky to have your family's support.
