Well done…..!

Can’t paddle this weekend (again)….due to work.
Kee would love to paddle though if someone could take him. Can get him anywhere, any time, but would need someone to bring him back…
Please.

As appealing as hussy anne sounds how about using the cash for the club logo.

Put Kee down, me maybe.
How much does it cost and what is involved in the assessment ?

Good day today at Jackfields with Rich D John Rob Paul Kee and myself.

Only the 3rd time I’ve been there this year and the lowest I’ve paddled. Gave me a much needed chance to ferry, catch a few new eddys and even surf a wave or two….! (ok….one)

Kee was also pleased as he managed to hand roll his new boat for the first time.
Another first was Robs first swim with the club, bit nasty as he caught a rock with his head which left him feeling a bit queasy.
All better now though.

Shared the river with many groups of paddlers, three guys with two old kayaks and a canoe who were having a bit of a party there later ( to which we were invited), a group of paddle boarders who chose to portage, one guy (who was too good a paddler to wear a helmet) who was leading two teenagers, and various groups of open boaters and lads in dinghy’s passing through.

One open boat needed rescuing (much to there mates delight) by us, which was fun,but the cider was lost to the Severn.

Called it a day after that and had the usual picnic then across the river for refreshments.

Thanks to all for a great time.

[Geoff]

Well said Rich…..
Great day really enjoyed it……Thanks all…!

Would also like to add to the report…….
Ricki forgetting his helmet at the start, paddle twirling 2 bends before the weir, that tricky rapid at the top…2 bends before the weir…the river wide wave 2 bends before the weir……..the last 2 bends before the weir….the Cobra’s at the end…..and the eddy lines on our arms off the sun…!

Well done to Matt for Serpent’s and the rest…..handled all the tricky sections well.

Sorry there’s not much video but I don’t think Kee’s heart was in it…

Can’t wait to do it again…..!
