Over the weeks since my last post, I have managed a considerable amount of paddling.
During the week of the last May bank holiday, I somehow managed to fit in 4 paddling sessions… Boulters on the Monday, Hurley after work on the Wednesday, Hurley again on the Saturday and Holme Pierrepont on the Sunday so that Martyn could demo boats in the hope of finding one that he can roll ;-).

The following weekend became only the fifth weekend of the year for me which did not feature any paddling: I visited an exhibition of my sister’s on the Saturday and then had to drop of my kit in Birmingham on the Sunday so that it could be taken out to the Alps in the van 🙂
From Saturday 14th June until Sunday 29th June, I was fortunate enough to be out in the French Alps with the uni canoe club ( I will do a write-up soon)
