Silver DofE paddle expedition
Well done to those who completed their practice expedition this weekend. Lots of miles were put in, some with the wind and some against it, and the portaging became quicker and slicker throughout.

Silver DofE canoe training in the wind
Well done to all those who were out over the weekend on their Silver DofE training. After a very windy and sleepless night on Friday, we were blown around even more on Saturday, before a calm(er) paddle north up the canal on Sunday.
