Staff Training & Intermediate Session

Staff Training
Quite a rough one today, a great way to begin the Winter Advanced Staff Training program!
We left tidal races out of the equation to introduce the core skills of rough water handling, re-entry and rolls, rescues and towing, off Peel. Always good to iron out a few wrinkles, a reasonably hard paddle to Glen Maye, surf landing, and plenty of rescue skill practice on the return journey.













Landing was fun....

Adventure Club Intermediate Session
Decided to launch the intermediate session from the sheltered side, and with eleven on the water, plenty to do and see... Sorry for the lack of pics, but seemed more sensible to keep hold of the paddle most of the time! Warmed up paddling round the castle, before again heading South to the more interesting headlands. A fine introduction back into 'bouncy stuff' after concentrating on BCU Awards since September. Glad you all enjoyed it, see you next Week!
