Wax on, wax off

Doug has been banging on for literally years about how much he wants to be able to wax our skis (ok that is poetic licence, I take it back, he never bangs on about anything). I have been waiting and waiting for my perfect lovely wax to happen, but it has never has... until now... To be fair we have never had space to do it before, as the flat in Chamonix was tiny and didn't have anywhere it was ok to cover in wax. The equipment required isn't complex, you just need an iron (ideally a specialist one with rounded edges, but apparently a normal one will do too - if you don't mind it being ruined)

The result was brilliant! I am not just saying that so he will do it again. The wax we got with the iron is quite expensive, so we are hoping that the cheaper wax we have ordered will come out as well.
