As I mentioned in my last blog about the Peak Forest Beer Festival, among the various competitions and challenges set for everyone there was a competition for dads – Extreme Ironing. Having taken all of 2 seconds to decide that this was definitely one I wanted to enter, I then had to decide what to do. There were a few options available, I could be perched up in a tree, or in a cave somewhere, or on the roof of Hargate Hall. In the end I decided that my normal every day routine was sufficient. Judge for yourselves!
