Summer Club 2011 - Thursday 28th July

We got our buoyancy aids, paddles and kayaks headed for the canal... On land Dean showed us how to hold and use the paddle and we practised how to use the paddle to move forward and back and to change direction... We got on the canal (probably the hardest bit apart from getting out of the boats again and then we paddled around, tried to avoid the bushes, fishermen and canal boats and when we needed a break had some rest stops where we rafted up and chilled out. For some it was their first time paddling and for others they had been last year and felt more confident this time... but all had a great time and looked forward to doing it again.
