Hi

Hi

Ta very much

Cheers bud, yeah, it's a great stretch. My first time on the Tees.

Pete Atki, mate. Wields his lens as well as he does his paddle.

Ah, cheers Grumpy, appreciate it mate

Thanks so much

Thanks again lads

Thanks Deb

We ballsed it up. Exited the upstream gate and forgot to do a high cross to the far downstream gate, so had to gather it up and improvise. I don't mind an unusual course design, we made that section look less elegant than it really was.

The practice thing...so true. We'll be trying to work it into our club sessions. Could've done that this evening, but we had a great surf wave. Too much fun to be had!

Yeah, it takes some shifting about. Was shallower on the Sunday, that was tougher. Cheers.

Did you watch it in VR?

Thanks guys. I liked your boat carrying video too.

Cheers Nige, yeah, tough doing K1 and C2. There's another bleep in the upcoming C2 video!

Cheers Phil, you'd like WWR y'know. Balls out thrash down whitewater. You could be good at this.

Cheers guys, will do!

Cheers Tom

I'll never forget being held in it....whilst taileeing....whilst facing upstream. None of it made sense. Such a cool feeling.

Interesting idea, I'll look into that. Cheers.

I bought some of these and tried them this evening. Works great, thanks.

Yeah, so glad we went. Even if we return many times, we'll never forget our first Boulter's.

If you see that wave and DON'T paddle it...that's when you question your sanity! Thanks Mum. xxx

Yes, and that's a problem. Cos breathing's pretty important!

Cheers guys, love your videos too

Cheers guys, I liked your spaghetti junction video! Merry Christmas 🎄

Hi, thanks so much for your comment. The Stour is definitely on my to do list. Maybe an open canoe trip over a couple of days. So many trips to do... Merry Christmas to you too, take care.

Thanks very much. Yeah, I've done some LV videos, my Legacy and Olympic assessments and my first time on Olympic on my own (gulp) We don't have control of the sluice unfortunately, it's hit and hope. It varies a great deal, as you can imagine. I suppose that's a good thing in many ways. Every time we turn up, we never quite know what we're going to get. And the excitement when it's raging in just the right way...wonderful. Merry Christmas!

Heh, oh yeah. (Technically, maybe not river left either I s'pose.) Add it to the litany of hyperbolic hyperbollocks I've uploaded thus far.

Thanks Alistair, I agree on both counts; the support of clubs is lovely and it's a very enjoyable kayak/canoe discipline. Let's spread the word.

Cheers guys. We were most pleased that we were able to use a C2 WWR. We'd brought a slalom C2 as back up because we didn't know how we'd get on in one of those boats. It went pretty well.

Cheers guys, it was indeed. I much prefer Town Falls when I can only see white in front of me. Not keen on rocks!

Thanks Tony, glad you enjoyed it. We reminisce about that day once in a while. I have one regret...I intended to paddle to the island in the loch in an island in the Loch but would've been a bugger of a portage due to the terrain. I expect I'll regret that for a looong time.

Nah man, err...couple of weeks ago last visit. Should get up there more often but got a canoe club to run!

A lovely day, and a lovely comment. Thanks.

I was engaging in a 'comedic' cliche, I do apologise! My wife and I talk some absolute rubbish to entertain each other. It's fair to say I'm 'full of it'!

@@jasonkayaker Lol. It’s all good. We Yanks have a special place in our hearts for you Brits. ❤️ You’re just different enough to feel a bit foreign and exotic. But we speak your language (kind of). And our culture spun off from yours, so even though you’re a bit foreign and exotic to us, at the same time you’re similar enough to feel familiar and that’s comforting somehow. 😂

Hey man. Had The Levellers on at the river the other day, they fit so well with the vibe, I agree. It was a very chilled day, blissed out. They do say 'tidbits' but I'm wrong about the reason, its apparently not because they can't bear to say tit! 2 minutes Googling tells me that they're right and we're wrong! Original English was 'tyd bit'. I'm sticking with the tit though, cos, well...tits.

@jasonkayaker I'll give the Americans that on this occasion. There is no excuse for using the word Soccer, though. Unless, of course, it's International Superstar Soccer.

Google tells me the word 'soccer' is actually a British export. That has to be a lie. Hang on, Google is American, right?

@@tomtoshack Yeah, it's from 'soc' which is from association football, right? But, I see your point! I don't know what's more ridiculous...that we now rightly feel a deep sense of mistrust in anything we read... ...or that we historically used to think we could trust what we read!

Nowhere near perfection. They just wanna make sure you're not a hazard or completely out of your depth, I think. And, actually, the course isn't that difficult.

Yeah, it's great for progression I think. When HPP is a step too far.

Oh, cheers LL. No, there's surprisingly few videos, I noticed that too! Was one of the best days on the water I've ever had. Hope you have a great time.
