Post by Tharlow »

Quite a large group of 18 paddlers both beginners and members led by Hannah.

One of the locals who has seen it all before.

Hannah held a few technique workshops on the way.

Lunch at Sluice Weir.

A boat used the lock so it was a good opportunity for younger members to understand how a lock works.

Hannah starts the return with splash.

Setting off for the return to Yalding.

With a fast current with us, the return was quicker.

As we approached Yalding, some of the younger paddlers became tired, very tired...

A good day for all.
Hope the beginners enjoyed their trip has much as members.
Many thanks to Hannah for stepping in at short notice.

I had a great time a big thanks to Hanna Dave and the others who helped me to paddle straight.
And the person who lent me his paddle which helped me big time.
Looking forward to one days helping others in the same way.
Regards
Keith
