Hi Peeps,

For the last few weeks we've been getting out every other morning down on the river and paddling from 5.30 to 8am ish. This has been mostly to introduce newbies to the sport but also about a decent paddle training sessions. (I'm training for "the Doctor" )

Inspired by a fun session this morning with surf4fun and others, I had an idea to share the stoke and want to train/paddle with a bigger group. Every Saturday morning at 5.30am, we will do a 10km paddle from Tranby House up river to the island off Garvey Park, round the little island and back to Tranby House Coffee shop for a scone and tea/coffee.

This is a social training event and has no cost to it, it's about improving technique and endurance. I will keep a track of times and speeds in order to improve each week. All levels welcome as it's not a race, just fun and a jolly good workout. Pace will be moderate.

I have a few raceboards for people to try if they like or you can paddle any board you like. If you wish to join us, be at Tranby house at 5.30am next Saturday.
