This week? Wednesday Maybe?
« on: March 12, 2012, 21:08:54 »
Hey folks!

So...I'm free on Wednesday and would like to go paddling. Anyone interested? I was thinking of trying to get to Suice (or maybe Stackallen if it Sluice isn't working). These are both play-boating spots so there's going to be plenty of capsizing. This is good practice for rolling, but if you're not rolling or have only rolled once in the pool etc. then it could be a long day.

Anyone interested?

Anyone able to drive?

Let's focus on that last one again, it's really important. Drivers

If you'll be wanting to borrow club gear for this then you're going to need to ask the committee. (they're under no obligation to say yes by the way.)

Did I mention fun?

It'll be fun.

And great for practical practice.


I like pie.

The one day I can't. For people who live in the same house, we need to learn to communicate better.

Sounds good. No sense waiting for the drought to end. I'm no help on the driving front mind.

How wold thursday suit? I could try and give that a go?
I can also do evening things, but they have to be utterly faff free and military precise to get there for daylight.
I also think sluice is more likely to be ruining at the mornings at th
e moment.

Nah, sluice is sometimes mornings, sometimes evenings at the moment: difficult to predict. I am game for some Thursday action.

Hmmm....no freshers seem to have signed up for this. Does that mean that you're all busy studying? Or perhaps I made it sound a little daunting.
There are loads of you that are up to this. I you're not sure then just ask or send some of us a PM or text to ask. thinking about doing a L3 soon? This be good practice right her...

Ah...do you think you would be interested in driving from Meef, to the the boathouse and then on to paddledom?
Does tomorrow suit you or would you prefer Thursday?

as it turns out, i'm not able to drive anywhere this week, sorry :(

i'd still be able to go, but i'd have to cycle  get the bus, and someone would have to get gear for me :P

I'm incredibly lethargic at the minute, but I like kayaking and I'd like to demo a boat, so I'd be up for Wednesday/Thursday.
If I can go tomorrow I'll post up here with as much notice as I can give, likewise for Thursday (factors outside my control are limiting my access to el car).
I'd be driving and could take moi + 4 (although, 5 boats would be tricky...actually, I'd prefer just 4).
