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, February 28, 2007Pin on the Tees
Feb 25th, 4 of us had an enjoyable paddle on the Tees (high force to low force) no incidents to report until the very last drop before the get out. Instead of taking the last drop over the weir, Steve decided to try the more challenging and very narrow L-shaped drop on river right... only he forgot to turn in time... hence broach pinned between 2 rocks. Only way out was to pull his deck. Mark Osborne jumped in to rescue his boat, and the bright yellow stickers showed up where his paddles had drifted to.
Morals of the story (1) inspection is often advisable (2) bright yellow stickers on paddles really do work! (3) take a camera on trips to record such events (4) bribe the other paddlers in the group to forget such events occurred.
