December Kayaking

Two very different days kayaking on the Tay. One with Derek and John from the Borders, who bought there own sit on top kayaks so they could get used to using them. So a nice trip from Kenmore to Aberfeldy was the order of the day. The Beavers are currently have a great time!
The other day down at Stanley doing a profiling day with my long term students, lots of surfing and play time.

December

With Christmas just around the corner things are normally quiet at this time of the year, however the past couple of weeks have been very busy, which is brilliant! Could do with the mild weather moving over to make way for the snow please. Thanks for coming though!! I ran my first 4 Star Open Canoe Leader Training, since becoming a provider and shadowed a 4 Star White Water Kayak Assessment ready to become a provider in the New Year.
