"My Kayaking for October 2007"

Jac rhymes with kayak...sort of;)


...so what better opportunity to stick another pic of my best mate Jac in my kayaking post. I promise that for November's kayaking post, I will have a pic, or better still a video clip of me doing a roll using just my hands.

As you can see, I'm not getting too much kayaking done now the weather has taken a turn for the worst. Not really an excuse at all, but it's my excuse;)
Ian has been trying to get me to go to a purpose built white water kayaking venue an hour or so up the M1 in Nene. I tried to get in there but they said I haven't enough white water experience and can't go in without a three star instructor with me and will have to book myself in for some WW sessions. So this is what I will do eventually. Looks like fun in there.



Thursday 4th October 2007 @ 21:00pm, No Lee or Ian but James was back after a long spell away...he thought he'd lost his ability to roll but did one on his first attempt, my ankle (left) was all back to 'normal' and Owen & I played tag.

Sunday 14th October 2007 @ 17:10pm, Twickenham to Richmond and back against the current both ways on the Thames, 1hr 7mins paddling, warm and no wind, although the water was freezing on my feet as I launched by St Mary's Church, temp 17, wind 4. I found seven tennis balls:)

Thursday 18th October 2007 @ 21:00PM, Lee, Ian, James etc, ankle felt like shit, Ealing Pool.

Thursday 25th October 2007 @ 21:00pm, Ealing, 90 mins, Ian (Lee had a cold), during the last five minutes I did my first ever roll using just my hands!
