A very flat Shepperton, just right for my first time back in a slalom C1 👍🏼
I managed roughly two hrs with a short leg stretch in the middle 😮💨 and I could still walk afterwards 👍🏼👍🏼
Retired from canoe and kayak repairs, reconditioning and plastic welding. But still Canoe and kayak coaching and selling Freebird Paddles.

A bit of maintenance work on the Turquoise terrapin ready for Canoefest. All the woodwork cleaned and re oiled, and the solo seat re-laced.
I made the mistake of not photographing the old seat before I cut the old cord off, so it took some head scratching and some trial and error attempts to get it finished.

About time! 6 years for this decision!
Maybe also a possibility here for another (Sharks) moving water slalom training site on the Colne below the weir above the sailing club?

West London lake to be redeveloped into watersports and activity centre Sailing, kayaking and paddleboarding are among the activities being lined up for the site in Harefield
Had a good session washing the dust off the Nitro today, but guess who had the camera zoom set wrong?
The Paint Factory weir about as good as it gets at these water levels. It was a good hour's workout. Now I need coffee and cake!
