Tales from our adventures

New car, Tryweryn and Hurley

Andy, May 11, 2008

Since I wrote my last post, things have been going strong. I have managed to keep the paddling going, but unfortunately missed another weekend.

On Friday 11th April I was at Sandhurst helping Chris celebrate his commissioning. It was another fantastic party that carried on almost until the sun came up! After a couple of hours sleep I set about missioning it to Warrington on the train (which turned out to be a lot further away that initially thought!), in order to pick up my new car. Unfortunately, Sunday spent tidying up my old car ready for sale meant that this was to become the 4th weekend this year on which I did not go paddling 🙁

The following weekend I did my best to make up for this. Saturday saw a trip to the Tryweryn, in North Wales, for a paddle with Amy and Steve. This was an opportunity for them to spend some time on the water before their finals took hold and give them some practice before the Alps.

The weekend of the 26/27th saw a bit of a mission. I returned to Wellington for my first school reunion on Saturday. Despite the low turn out it was an enjoyable day where we were able to meet up with some of our old teachers, see the new developments going on, watch some cricket in the sunshine, as well as discovering that the school dinners menu hadn’t changed since I started school!

On the drive back from Wellington to London, I made the obligitory stop-off at Hurley, although this was slightly later than orignally planned due to the enjoyment of a few too many beers the night before! Martyn came up with some excuse for not paddling, but I had a thoroughly enjoyable 2 gate session. I was really starting to feel like I was finally making progress following all my paddling so far this year.
