Happy New Year.
Started the year off with a new years day paddle on Damflask reservoir (near Sheffield) the club had arranged a trip there.
The weather was calm it was like a mill pond and air temp was warm too.
Took the opportunity to complete my two star award , which has to be done part Kayak and part done in a open top canoe.
Then did a bit( and I mean a bit ) of distance paddling, after quarter of a mile i was Christmas cracked. Blimey 30 mile a day seams a lot of water when we do the trip.
The route we intend to paddle has firmed up ( if water can firm up) and it looks like cast off on the Thames at either Kew or where the boat race starts, up the grand unions 1 million locks to carry the boat round as you cant go in them. Onto the River Nene and bit of the Wash back in at Boston , onto Lincoln, onto tidal Trent, before the South Yorkshire Joint water way to the quay at Sheffield.
Its only about 31 miles a day paddling, sounds a lot walking let alone paddling.
