Two Weeks Left!!!!

Hi All

Well since my last post I have done nothing in the K2 still rehabbing the tendonitis,its coming along, but very slowly. To be honest its getting rather frustrating, the big event is only 2 weeks on Saturday. Enda gives me confidence by keep telling me that we're solid in the boat and we know how to deal with the issues we get, and besides we're both very stubborn and string willed.

Talking of Enda, he's stil been getting some good sessions in, getting out his usual 3 times a week. This week, with the rest of the gang, he's been getting in some good practice particularly in wash hanging. This is where you reduce the effort required to move along by positioning yourself in the wash of other paddlers or boats. This will be a massive help in the DW for helping to conserve some energy.

The both of us are off to North Wales tomorrow for another part of our outdoor lives. Going to Snowonia to train a great group getting ready for thier Gold Duke of Edinburgh Expedition. This will give me another week of, hopefully, giving the wrist/forearm and rest. It will also give me and Enda the opportunity to talk some tactics, well in between charging up and down North Wales finest.

I've got some photos of some of our evening exploits in the boat, well not si dark now the lighter evenings are here, but worth a look.
