We finished work early on Friday, met up with Dazza and Sam and took thetube down to Wimbledon for the tennis.
After taking a taxi down the length of the queue, we found our spot (700th from the gate). After pitching the tents, the girls went looking for ice and beer, the boys put up the airbeds (something wrong there!). With that all sorted we sat down to a very civilised meal (courtesy of Sam) and a few drinks which ended up in a very uncivilised fashion around 4am.

At 7am we all got woken as the queue was about to move and we needed to pack the tents and all the gear away again. We got to the gate fairly quickly and found we had a choice of Centre Court or Court One to choose from. We decided on Court One, as we could watch Lindsay Davenport, Pat Rafter and Andre Agassi. After checking out some of the less popular courts, we proceeded to our alotted seats. We lucked out with front row seats, right by where the players enter and leave the court, it was also the spot where they came to sign autographs, so Dazza was able to collect a few.

All in all it was a truly memorable experience, and even managed to spark an interest in playing tennis for both of us... hmmm just need some dry weather now.
