River Ure - Mickley to Slenningford



A club trip on the River Ure. The short boaters set off first and by all accounts they had a brilliant day, Anthony was buzzing having paddled the Burn down to and including the Slenningford rapids ( I'm just a little proud of him and our coaches right now)

The rest of us made our way in open canoes. Our friends Mick and Tricia have only paddled the open a handful of times on flat water and today was to be their first time on white water - (Mick does have much experience in K1 and this shined through), Tricia also did fantastic, we spent much time looking at river skills and she was game for it all.

Big thanks to good friend Roger for taking the lead on this trip and leading well. This freed me to do a little coaching, take photos and generally arse around.
