something more Adventurous...

The last few weeks have been on the windy side, and no shortage of rain either!

Whilst we've been finding sheltered locations for beginners, the Adventure Club Intro-mediates and Intermediates have been after something more adventurous, without the wind!

Advanced staff training has been focused on hill walking and navigation @ night, and those who are completing their VHF course with the Coastguard. Coaching has been very concentrated, and fewer pictures are getting taken.

The first Christmas party activities day this year took place on Friday, with a corporate group from the UK. Despite heavy rain all night prior and high winds continuing on the day, the group were in high spirits when we collected them from the airport in the morning. Laxey provided a very shelted location, and the sea kayak trip was a beauty. Then off to the Miners Tavern where Pete cooked a splendid repast, and the group reinforced their courage with strong cups of tea... Coasteering finished the outdoor activities for the day, as darkness called an end to the session. Very memorable and highly enjoyable, and I look forward to see you all again.

With Peel pool open again, we did an additional Sunday early morning session (and also took the opportunity to introduce Alice and Katia to getting wet in and out of the kayaks) prior to heading for Peel bay for the Intro-mediates introduction to surf kayaking... ideal conditions for the group ensured smiles all round. With surf dropping off and the river levels perfect, the Intermediates met up at Adventurous Experiences base, and then ran the Neb for the second week! The pic is from the final drop at Emery's Pool, before a small wier and the final run to get out. Well done everyone on such a fantastic day!!
