That was a chilly trip

The light was even better today for photographs, chilly at -1oC, but a stunning day. Very well done to the U6th students who were out, surprising how much everyone remembered from a year ago. Superb!

Pumping levels today on the Dart

The river was moving fast today and so we didn't get that many pictures, well done to all for their great attitude despite the rain.

Setting off

Come on!

Rewarded with sunshine

 

A very good set of sessions today from the candidates, each brining their prior experience and knowledge to the fore and all enjoyed the sunshine after the last few days of cold and wind.

Day two of UKCC L1 and a little colder

 

Another good day, particular praise to those who performed the rescues in the chilly waters today.

Lower VI on the sea in White Water Kayaks

A windy day on the sea but we managed to find shelter while weaving among the rocks.  Today concludes a series of four sessions looking at the British Canoe Union (BCU) Two Star syllabus. Conclusions from the day are that more warm jumpers are needed.
