1st Day of Summer

With a high pressure system over the UK producing such mild and sunny weather we arranged a paddle with both Hull and Scarborough friends. Launching from Sandsend beach we headed north towards Runswick.

A beautiful day with good friends

A Day Fishing on the Canoe

Took the lad on one of our frequent trips on the top reaches of the River Hull. The pike weren't interested but a blank was saved with this nice escapee rainbow trout.









A lovely day on the water and the last chance of the 2011/12 season.

A Guiding Honour

The tragic death of a paddling friend prompted two local lads to take on a mammoth paddle to raise funds for the Great North Air Ambulance - 160 miles from source to sea - Jason & James decided to paddle the full length of the River Ure, Ouse and Humber down to the sea. I was privileged to accompany them on the final leg of their journey.









Shattered and hurting the lads made the best use of the tide..



I'm really pleased to say that with only 20 minutes of tide assist left the lads made it to their destination, the North Sea, well done Jason and James.
