Back doing what we do best. Filey to Cayton, out on the ebb, back with the flood, 20kms covered. Fairly benign, nice to catch up with the salty old sea dogs... A great day with Rob, Glen, Simon and Dave.

River Hull Clean Up

Flattered to be a small part in the River Hull Clean Up today. Paddlers and bank side assistance making the environment a much better place. All of this rubbish would have eventually worked its way down into the Humber and ultimately into the worlds oceans.. Big thank you to the White family for making this happen.

A Bit of Canoe Fishing

Combining two of my loves on a very misty and cold day today, a bit of canoeing and a little fishing (canishing of fishnoeing, I'm not sure what I prefer), who said canoeists and anglers cannot get on. Met several anglers on the river, they're all really friendly when you have rods sticking out the back of your boat... Three fish today, all safely returned..

Post Covid Paddle

Just coming out of 10 days isolation due to the dreaded lurgy it felt brilliant to be back on the water. Fiona and myself took the opens up the river, certainly nothing to push the envelope but just so good to be back out there doing what we do....

A Simple Paddle on the Navigational

A simple and benign paddle on the Nav this morning with Cadet Lewis. Poor girl has not been very well of late so not paddled much, know she found this hard work but she managed to Snakeholme and back. Well done Missy... Lovely to just be out in the seasonal colours, Ee by eck it was cold on the old hands though....

British Canoeing SUP Coastal Leader Assessment

 Home from 4 amazing days on Anglesey progressing and developing our SUP skills, Storm Arwen couldn't even break us. 

So pleased to be able to report that I'm now a British Canoeing qualified Stand Up Paddleboard Coastal Leader. Big, big thanks to Dave Brown and Lisa Boore from AcwaTerra Adventure Training for guidance and for having the confidence in my ability and of course for really putting us through our paces throughout the assessment. An awesome few days with some amazing individuals. Feeling broken but elated.

Surf and Rescue Practice at Filey

A bit of fun at Filey with Fiona, scruffy surf but we had a scream. We finished with a session developing our deep water rescue skills, experimenting with different techniques - recovering both incapacitated but conscious and also unconscious casualties back onto a board, then of course landing them safely.

A Year of Delivering SUP Tuition

Its been a miserable morning but its has given Fiona and myself the opportunity to reflect and look back at this summers SUP tuition. We started delivering sessions back in February of this year and only finished recently. Looking at the maths we've delivered over 95 sessions and have hosted over 195 wonderful individuals on the water. A truly amazing year. Thank you to you all, it has been an absolute pleasure to work with each and every one of you....
