that was quite some trip, did you not find it hard work in the current in the river?? i think a trip round the orme after that would have killed me  what was the tide and currents like round the orme??, bet you had a battle on the way back in. |

to be honest martin i havent trained much for years and im 46 this year i was worried that i would struggle esspescially when your kayak partner is 20 years younger but im supprised how its been dont want to say easy but if you just keep on plodding along youll get there i can honestly say that its somthing iwill still be doing when im 65 god willing we did turn back against the tied to make sure it wasnt to hard so a bit of thought and planning must go in to your trip, the waves look a bit intimadating bit these kayaks just bob along and are quiet stable ive never had so much fun since mad sunday
