An Evening Training session

So today I found out that I am really unfit and should probably start training if I want to do okay at the Moriston River Race



Lets hope there is some water around so we can get out paddling this weekend...

No Water Anywhere...

So for the past few weeks there has been no water anywhere and is has been hard to get out anywhere. There was a club trip on last week, a trip down a low Eden meant that I at least managed to get out and paddle. It was a good day out with friends... below is some pics from the trip.










We also managed to get down to Tees Barrage, with a conveyor belt and a choice of two courses (long course and short course), it is the perfect place to go to when you are struggling to find somewhere to paddle when there is no water or just want to have a good day out on the water. Head down there and have a look for yourself... Tees Barrage Facebook page

Wavesport Recon 83

Yesterday I went to pick up my new boat from North East Kayaks and Paddles, I spent the whole night outfitting it and changing stuff around so that it would be ready to paddle today. 


With all the the rivers being bone dry, we decided to go to the Leven which was the only thing with a decent amount of water in. My first impressions of the boat are that it is good... very good.


Review to come soon!
