The dates for the Youth Freestyle series have just been announced. A series of five events across the country for young paddlers interested in freestyle.
If anyone is interested in Level 1 Coaching course, please contact me urgently (if not already done so). At the moment, it looks positive that a course will be booked mid / end April.
Like several others Amanda and I took a trip through the Great Glen by canoe this summer. And... like the others I have yet to find time to write a decent article. But I have select a few pictures of the trip that you might be interested in.
Like many others from NACC this summer, I ran this fantastic 90km solo in sea kayak, rough camping over 2.5 days in early September. I had fantastic weather - 24 slides to summarise are here:
But you really must do this trip sometime - just get the SCA guide (Google took me straight there), it has all the info you need (and almost nothing else to bore you!). SCA knock the pants off Canoe England!
Unfortunately I am never going to get around to putting together a proper article for Claire and my trip up the Great Glen. So I have attached a link to the Facebook photos and comments in case anyone is interested. It was an amazing trip and I would really recommend it!
Whilst some club members had gone off in search of dammed water, four intrepid kayakers took on the mighty Axe! OK so the water was not exactly rapid but there was a large gathering of craft ready for the 2009 Axe race. Briefing over, on to the water, and away we go. The race start is split into age groups and type of craft with the longer canoes and sea kayaks starting last.
