JUST how does a blind person waterski?
That was what the Earl of Wessex wanted to know when he met Northern IrelandOs amazing World Disabled Water Skiing champion, Janet Gray MBE, yesterday.
The inspirational sportswoman, currently recovering from a serious accident during training in Florida last year, put Prince Edward straight during the annual Secretary of StateOs Garden Party at Hillsborough Castle.
The theme of this yearOs party was sports and the arts, and there were few better people to convey her passion for the former than the Hillsborough woman.
OHe was very interested and he wanted to know exactly what it was like: was someone there to tell you to turn left, turn right?O she said.
OI told him that I ski with an audio slalom device in my ear and that the route is all mapped out in time, the same that a sighted slalom route would be.
