Flew in to Liverpool on Friday afternoon and from there I took the train to Wigan. From the train station I walked to my hotel for the weekend the Coaching In Hotel got a nice room and full English breakfast in the morning if you wanted. The staff was very friendly. On the evening I went out and bought some chicken chow main that I brought back to my room, it was delicious.

Saturday morning I walked to the venue. It was my first time in Wigan so I made a couple of wrong turns so the walk took about an hour and I was at the venue by 9.30.

Had a good warmup and I got Mark Frost in the prelim. I played a solid game but he played awesome and I lost with 6-0. Left double a couple of times but his finishing was perfect. Stayed at the venue most of the day, did some practising and watched a couple of games before I went to the hotel.

Sunday morning I walked again, I had my backpack on me but I knew the way so it only took 45 minutes this time and I was first at the venue at 8.45. The walk was by a channel, most of it was drained and not that nice but a part of it was really nice. Had a good practice again and met my sponsor face to face for the first time Karl and Dawn from A180 darts. Such nice people. Today’s draw I had Colin Monk in first round and the game was OK, lost 6-5 and it felt ...... Going to work on the Mental thing more, that's what going to take me to next level.

Sunday night I had a nice dinner with Karl and Dawn and their two friends Chris and Andrew, my friends now for sure as well. Then I got a lift to my hotel at the Liverpool airport so I got like 4 hours sleep before my flight back at 6.35 am. 

Next stop is Crawley next weekend and this time Ingela is coming with me. Me like that
