Sprint training

This situation is enough to make anyone sprint to the beach. Apparently it was off a beach in Cape Town.

Fun on the Ashop

Hi All
I was driving back from a mountain biking session at the Lady Bower forests and noticed two canoeists having so mush fun on the very full and fast flowing Ashop river which flows into the Lady Bower resovior, this pic was taken just down the road from the Snake Pass pub.

News from Gordon

Hi All

Just a short note to say I have had my second shoulder op last week, and the doc says it was successful, just the recovery process now, so hope to be paddling early January if all goes well, and then be back in action for the 2006 season.

Attached is a pic of a secret surf wave (maybe not) I found on the Goyt near the Roman Lakes. A few days before I took this pic, the river was much higher and the wave was about 3+ feet high all the way across the river, it looked like it could be fun to surf. There is also another similar wave
30 m down stream. Check it out when we next have a good down pour.Hopefully I will be on it before the winter ends.

Dylan is settled at Nottingham Uni and has joined the Notts canoe club and is back into training for marathons and playboating.

Speak Soon
Gordon
