Supervising a mini canal trip today for L3 Outdoor Education students. Thought I would paddle one of my fleet sea boats for a change, needs some padding on the seat though (job for next week).  The afternoon was a bank based coaching session and I forgot to take any pics. The waterbased module is drawing to a close for the L3 students with next week being the last week so hopefully a few 2 Stars will be given out then.

Mega windy today for the Level 4 students. We are preparing for an overnight paddling expedition so it was all about getting the distance in and dealing with the wind.

A warm and dry (for me) day on the canal today with my Level 3 Outdoor Ed students. Normally we have to negotiate the swans on the slipway but there was a new wildlife hazard today. A couple of rats! A trip down to the docks and back with the return journey virtually blinded in the low sun. Is it really mid December?

Another day afloat with my Level 3 Outdoor students today. Some skills coaching in a range of kayaks preparing for some future star tests. They decided they wanted to test their skills in "rough water" and as this is in short supply we made our own as seen in the video.
