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.
Monday, February 27, 2012A middle class sport
Whilst taking a lunch break from paddling the Lune on Saturday, the group I was with were exchanging kayaking tips.
One complained about the slipperiness of his hands on the paddle after eating his olive oil coated snack pack.
The only suggestion to resolve this dilemma was to rub your wet hands in the river grit. Good suggestion but I noticed this wasn't carried out by the aforementioned snack packer, possibly due to the softness of his hands.
This wasn't me I had packed the more less classy lunch of the prepacked and water proofed garage sandwich.
