Trip Reports - Whitewater Kayaking Trips

Being of sound mind..... or something like that, I booked on the open canoe beginners course on the white water weekend.

Taking the plunge...

After the compulsory purchase of a thermal rash vest and the borrowing of a decent kag from Steph (thanks!), I was as ready as I was ever going to be.  With Nigel leading, Richard, Brian and I got in from a muddy (did I mention it had rained a lot?) Sennybridge field.

Trip Reports - Sea Kayaking Trips

In August, I went on my first sea kayaking trip. I was looking forward to the expedition nature of it and to a good day's exercise, but what I wasn't expecting was the exhilarating nature of the paddle!

Sea kayaking on the Severn

As we were packing our boats, I learnt that due to the volume of these boats and being designed to be paddled fully loaded, sea kayakers do day trips in luxury! I clearly didn't have enough 'stuff'!

Brecon White Water weekend

3 Star White Water Group

Instructor Ralph
Victims Kevin, Brendan, Tim, Stuart, Nick, & Ed who was with us, to keep an eye on us all.

Me (Kevin) and Brendan got there early on the Friday so our white water weekend started early with a beer at the pub to kill some time.

Back at the bunkhouse more people started to arrive, so after some coffee and tea we then got down to the business at hand.. Theory sessions which were very informative and helpful.

Hi Everyone,

For a few years now the Dart has been without a webcam (as far as I am aware). Good News! I have just found this one:

There are not many canoe clubs that can boast that they have 3 talented freestyle paddlers competing at the top level in the UK.  George, Sam and Josh all started their paddling at NACC.

3 seperate competitions were recently held to select the 2010 GBR freestyle team.  The first two events were at Nottingham and the third event at Hurley.  The best two results counted towards the overall ranking.

Sam finished a very creditable 10th place in the juniors. George has moved up to the seniors this year, and was placed 21st out of 39. This is a very tough category and he was competing against world class paddlers.

We are delighted to say that Josh has made the GBR Junior Freestyle kayak squad for 2010. Well done and a huge thank you to all the NACC coaches that have helped the lads along their way.

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:

Go there and become my "Friend" to keep in touch.

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!
