Kayaking - River Lune - Year 7 - Day 2 - 29th March

Another great days Kayaking on the River Lune near Halton!

Due to a speedy departure and lunch we were on the water and paddling by 11.30.  The group mastered basic techniques quickly and we were soon down at the motorway bridge.  We played games on the way and practiced forward paddling, reversing and turning.

Everyone was brave enough to crawl down there boats and rub noses with them!










Excellent team work at the end of the session getting boats off the water and loaded onto the trailer, bring on Thursday!
