Tuesday mornings – paddle at your own pace
Experienced paddlers and their friends paddle regularly at the times shown. Any one wanting to come along will be welcomed.
This is “paddle at your own pace“. This means that if you are slow and can’t keep up, then come along anyway. They will help you get started, then leave you to practice while they go on ahead. When you see them paddling back, turn around yourself. They will catch up and see how you are doing. Before too long you will be able to keep up. If you paddle faster that they do, you can leave them behind, but you need to pace yourself to return at the same finish time.
Meet: Club shed

What is flatwater kayaking?
Basically it means taking out one of the ‘tippy’ boats (a TK1 is more stable than a K1) so you can go longer distances and at a faster pace. It is an ideal way to get fit and also encouraged if you wish to participate in races. The Wednesday group will have a greater focus on flatwater paddling.
