Pool Sessions

I know that I haven't updated my blog for a while but I will now. Since I last blogged the pool sessions have been split into two groups, I am in the experienced group.in this group we are learning to do the Eskimo roll, self rescue and how to rescue each other. One of the kayak instructors named Dave, said that he will have me rolling by May! I am hopefully going to go on the trip to Jura on the first weekend in May, because I have a long school weekend, and by then hopefully the weather will be good. Me and my Dad have started to plan the route we are going to take on the trip. I have started to take pictures of me and my Dad in the swimming pool practicing our kayaking. We still need some practice at it, though we do have some good ones.
I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog!

KAYAKING TOP TIPS!

Here are some useful tips for what to bring with you on a long kayaking trip. SIGNAL WHISTLES need to shout? save your voice and carry a whistle with you. ALL IN ONE FRISBEE TOOL! Its a multi use camp tool:fan fires, wind block, foot rest on wet ground, even a signaling device, if it has reflective tape on it. PUT REFLECTIVE TAPE ON KAYAK PADDLE You should put reflective tape on the kayak paddle and on the deck of the kayak. BRING EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT At the very least, bring a life jacket, paddle floats, water pump, emergancy light, emergancy food, emergancy water, a few flares and good knife as well.
