Aire Waves
Leeds Canoe Club Blog. We paddle... lots!
Airewaves used to be Leeds Canoe Club's magazine letting people know what the club was upto. Its quite hard work pulling together a publication letting people know what the club is doing and publishing dates in advance is always hard as things tend to change. Step forth the blog.. Push button publishing for the masses. So here is the idea a few people in the club take it in turns to write up trips and talk about things in the club.
Wednesday, October 18, 2006Top tips from coaches
The pocket of your buoyancy aid is one of the most important items of kit you posses.
In here you can keep a selection of the following items.
Knife (to cut your self, or others free, from river strewn debris)
Carabina
Sling
Water proof paper
Pencil (that writes in zero gravity and wet conditions)
Small amount of electrical tape, wound around top of pencil (for use a dressing in case of emergencies)
Whistle
Training aids (one, two, and three star)
Chocolate (chocolate is not the only snack other snacks are available)
Skull cap (helps prevent hypothermia, when head gets submersed under freezing cold water)
If anyone finds any of this kit can they please return it to Nigel. He forgot to zip up his pocket, before attempting town falls.
