After all the rain over the past few days the Outlook Adventure team jumped at the chance to get out on the river, it also gave Neil a chance to try out his new Big Dog Kayak.
We meet up at Newbridge and got kitted up with the other 100 or so paddlers taking the opportunity to get out on the river. Once on the river we got straight on with it so that we could get away from all the big college and Uni Groups and headed off downstream. We had a few swimmers on the Washing Machine, once they were back in their boats we had time to have a play before we were caught up by the groups. Heading of down the river gave some of the guy’s time to practise their skills breaking in and out of eddies and with some more swimmers it also gave us another chance to carry out some rescues and throw line practise.
All in all it was a great day out on the river and we are already looking to get back out on the river next week maybe on the upper Dart to get away from the crowds.
Outlook adventure will also be running a number of BCU 3* courses over the winter check out the website for dates www.outlookadventure.co.uk
