Birthday parties & BCU Awards

A surprise Birthday party was in store for Helen who was blindfolded from her home until meeting us at the location. She soon put two and two together despite it being the earlier 10 o clock... and got fully into the adventure!

Plenty of shrieks and laughter made an fantastic journey up the gorge, and they'll be some great footage coming very soon :)
Can't wait to introduce you all to Coasteering and Sea Kayaking as well!

Sunday's paddles set out from Port St Mary, splitting the morning session into two working groups.

Congratulations to Adventure Club members; Cheryl, Rach, Chris and Ali who completed their BCU 1 Star Awards on Sunday, well above the level required, as they've been concentrating on the 2 Star syllabus, and all performing well.
Janet has been delivering this coaching course and the results are excellent.


The Intermediate session worked at rough water handling skills in and around rocks, before moving to the Sound to practice incident scenarios - like swimming your kayak across the tidal race :)
We kept as one group this week, helping to push everyone on even more.

Next weeks spring tides will be ideal for what is planned!
See you then.
