• yeah - i'm not sure ncp is where it's at.

    the nia seems as good as it will get for wet-weather polo, but as i say, i'm not sure i'll be all too bothered to ride home from town in the rain, eat dinner, then get back out on my bike in the rain to possibly play polo.

    i'm more coming round to the idea of twice-weekly polo, and just say it's weather-dependent.

    on another note, i saw the court near paragon hotel in highgate/digbeth. it looks sweet. far better than calthorpe park - enclosed on all sides, with no actual football goals for the ball to get stuck in and no basketball nets either. it seems to be some perverse cricket/playground hybrid getup designed to waste public money... but pretty useful for polo... we should try it next time calthorpe is free (not sure if it's floodlit though).
