A Very Foggy Clyde 31st Oct 2010
Paddlers: Dave, Mick, Myles, Douglas and Geoff
Description: A very foggy and ethereal paddle giving extensive practice of kayaking by compass and a completely new perception of a well used route. A thoroughly enjoyable short day.
Come and Try Day: Luss, Oct 17th
Kayakers: The biggest club meet yet with 27 in attendance.
Activities: In the morning everybody had a chance to try out a sea kayak (including the new North Shore Atlantic), a river boat and one of the club’s Canoes. Sue and Alan gave a short demo of self rescue: Roll, Paddle Float and Re-Entry and Roll. In the afternoon there was a short paddle with some seal launching for the small boats. Despite a grey cold day that dis-integrated in the afternoon into heavy rain, a good time was apparently had by all.
