Alps boot camp weekend by John Cooke Well, we certainly had the weather, scorchio! The weekend began with Harry and myself meeting up on Friday to do a lap of the lower section, nice run down before going to the campsite. People started arriving from late afternoon and we sat around drinking and putting the world to rights. Saturday saw others joining us and everyone did the lower section. We… Read More »Alps boot camp weekend by John Cooke

Llandudno to Puffin Island 10th July by Chris Bolton I’d been a club member for 18 months, but due to being disorganised (and the pandemic) I’d never actually done any trips. Keith’s email on Friday asked if anyone was interested in a paddle on Sunday, 2-3 hours to an island, and that was my chance. It turned out to be two islands, a big one that we landed on (Anglesey/Môn)… Read More »Llandudno to Puffin Island 10th July by Chris Bolton

Junior Club Weekend 1st-3rd July based at Anglesey Outdoors by Mandy Smith We attended the Junior Kayaking Weekend on Friday 1st July 2022.

Shetland Islands, Day Six, 16th June, Vementry and Papa Little by Andy Garland  he day began with a slightly more optimistic outlook to the weather than had been the case for the last few days.  We were promised a mere Force 3, gusting 4 wind from the southwest, and the westerly swell was meant to be a feeble ripple of 2m.  We had already earmarked a potential paddle on the… Read More »Shetland Islands, Day Six, 16th June, Vementry and Papa Little by Andy Garland

Shetland Islands, Day Eight, 18th June, by Catriona Last day and yes, yet more wind. The forecast was F5 gusting F8/9, so I was concerned about driving with boats on the car rather than paddling, and also increasingly concerned about the ferry crossing home.

Visits were… Read More »Shetland Islands, Day Eight, 18th June, by Catriona

Shetland Islands, Day Seven, 17th June, Wind and Rescue Practice by Catriona With another really rubbish day forecast, conditions of F4 gusting F6 and possibly higher later in the day, we decided to make the most of the onshore wind onto the safe beach in Voxter Voe next to our accommodation and practice turning and rescuing in the wind. Well, this had seemed a great idea the night before during… Read More »Shetland Islands, Day Seven, 17th June, Wind and Rescue Practice by Catriona
