Kayaking

These are the dates for the next few paddles! Please can some other kids come, because it is boring when everyone else who goes is an adult or my little sister!!!

Ruswarp to Whitby

Good day out today: a paddle from Ruswarp up to Sleights and then down to Whitby. Ian H, Kirsty and Izzy all showing off their new kayaks, James in a Kayak, and Fiona H and Catherine in an open canoe.
We all rode the weir and, for once, izzy didn't get herself too wet.
Thanks to James who organised the trip and ensured we had warm, dry weather!

Even more of Sue's photos

More of Sue's photos from surf kayak day

Surf Kayak Course in May - caption competition?

Richard booked a 5* Surf Kayak coach to work with club members for the day. Despite disappointing waves, we had a great day out at Redcar - both on and off the sea!

Sue took a whole discful of these photos, I have only put a flavour of the day on here; if anyone who was there on the day wants copies just let me know!

There is lots of scope to come up with funny captions for some of these pics...

First Aid Course in June

As you will see, the photos raise more questions than answers... Just what is James doing to Ian? Why does Izzy want to work out my bra size? And what did Steen do to his leg?

There are also images of the junior members who took part, but I won't put them on the blog unless you put up a post to say that is okay with you.

We have been given a whole disc of photos by Dave, the First Aid trainer who coached us on the 8 hour session so some more of us could become Appointed Persons. If anyone who did the course would like copies of them all just let me know.

Bow, bow, bow your boat...

A few days after Mum and Izzy got their kayaks, they started play a violin duet in them. It sounded all right so I took a few pictures of them!
When we went to Go 2 H 2 O to buy the kayaks, all I got was a pair of swimming goggles and a groooovy hat but it doesn't matter as I don't like kayaking... Oh well!

It was worth it!

Today our family and James and Katherine went down the River Eske to Whitby. Everyone was in kayaks but me and Katherine were in an open canoe and we went down the weir! We havn't uploaded the photo's yet but I'm sure you will see some soon!
When we got to Whitby, Izzy, Katherine, Mum and me had an ice-cream so it was worth the paddle!

For members only!

I should have mentioned two things:

1) only club members can see this blog (in fact, only club members who have logged into the site)
2) it is possible to add a comment to another post (like I just did to Scott's) - but it might be better to add a whole new posting, because the comments are easy to miss!

Hi Kirsty,
Got your mail and as you can see I've signed up. Has Ian got his boat yet?

www.hambletonpaddlers.co.uk

Yes, we now finally have a website. It is very far from perfect but at least it is a start. Let me know if you have anything you want to see on it. Like the blog, it is for all members of the Hambleton Paddlers.

By the way, we are all looking forward to the Whitby paddle with James tomorrow!

Welcome

Welcome to the Hambleton Paddlers Blogger.

This is designed as a way for club members to keep in touch, advertise activities, share news of past events and to enjoy sharing paddle prattle with fellow enthusiasts. You can post text, images and videos...

I will try to add all club members to the membership list, in the hope that it will become a forum for a wide variety of views and ideas.

Have fun!
