I took advantage of some great weather today to take a run to Willen Lake. It is about 2 miles to the lake, and then the trail around the lake is about 1.5 miles I think. The lake itself is quite nice, there were a few sailboats on the water. They also have a motorized watersport park. Instead of a boat, there are lines that are suspended overhead that pull you along to wakeboard or waterski. There are assorted ramps and things if you are advanced enough. More info is on their website
WakeMK.
The wind tunnel testing we did yesterday was good. We were given a car model and told to find the best setup of ride height and wing angle. It was up to us to decide what values we tested at. I think we had a good strategy and will be able to come up with a good setup for the lab report.

The leaves around here are slowly changing, nothing like the dramatic colors we get back home, but here is a picture.

Well I will get back to "revising" (studying) as they seem to call it over here. I think I might go find some fish and chips for dinner tonight actually.
btw - I liked the pics, though for some reason the technology looks "older" than I expected...
ReplyDeleteoh just because things have wood paneling doesn't make them old! Although the wind tunnel isn't new, the Impact Centre is really where the new toys are.
