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.

Churchill insuranceAccident Houseprobably in NorwichDear ChurchillWhere the fluff, does a duck get a solicitor? There is no way whiplash was even possible, that duck did not look both ways and possibly was drunk and is definitely a charlatan.The weir in question is more of trip hazard, than an actual drop and my chosen vehicle no longer had any forward momentum, in fact had the plaintiff claimed to have been squashed as my boat rolled very slowly over the ford, I may have had to conceed early.The main cause of the event was the ineffectiveness of a reversed high brace, due to the paddle hitting the ford and not any lack of ability as claimed. (reversed high brace may not be the correct wording here, its probably a jam or a wedgie in open boating terminology).Had the boat or paddle come in to contact with a duck, it would have been considerable flatter, I suggest that your customer is winging it.RegardsMartin(who swims less than the award winning Steve Henderson)
