Too much water!

Had high hopes of hitting Hurley on a 3 last week, but unfortunately after months of no water there was suddenly too much and Hurley was in the metal stantions! So we hit Mapledurham weir which funnily enough was to low! However there was a small play wave and a nice sunset to top off a good evening. Hoping to hit Hurley this week.
Enjoy the photos I took.

The Olympic Whitewater Course
A couple of weekends ago we headed over to the Lee Valley Olympic Whitewater centre just north of London. This will be the venue for the 2012 canoe slalom and also the 2015 World Champs. We spent an hour on the grade 2/3 Legacy Loop and then we headed onto the grade 4 Olympic course in the afternoon. I spent a further hour after that with the camera, here are some shots from the day.
Enjoy

Isle Of Wight

A week spent in a mainly sunny Isle Of Wight. Although the week consisted of AS Geography feildwork we still got to see most of the island. This attracted us to the Island, so hopefully before the summer ride we will ride around the Island on a training day. The picture shows the glorious weather we had on the Island!  Update on a trip to the Olympic Kayaking course to come.

Waiting For The Water

Waiting for the water - 

Cycling

Cycled 85 miles in total in the half term mainly due to the lack of water to go kayaking and the need to train for the Three Peaks Bike & Hike that i'm doing in the summer. Check out these really bad photos but it shows an overboard kayak deck bag now made multifunctional on my pannier rack and as a completely waterproof pannier liner. Using my kayaking kit to go cycling, withdrawal symptoms from kayaking. 

Enjoy a little videos attached and there should be some more updates when the water rises or there will be much more cycling and running! 

Cheers

White Water Symposium
River Dart
28/29th January 2012.

Set up to a very low river dart this weekend as part of the white water symposium weekend. Paddled a low upper Dart twice on Saturday and attended a photo and video course on the Sunday. To great runs on Saturday apart from it being a level far below the slab! One run in 1hr 2 mins. Nailing a very rocky Surprise Surprise! Photography course organised by Canoe & Kayak UK was great on the Sunday, learning how to gain more from your SLR. and video cameras. Alot learnt and a chance to use some great kit!
Great weekend, looking forward to returning next year!
