Liffey




Some Liffey feedback from the Woodhead's. Dylan and I did the Liffey this weekend, and after a hard race with no swims and no mistakes we finished a respectable 9th overall, it was a great weekend. There was good representation from many clubs, leeds canoe club had about 15 members, participating. Maybe one year MADCC could go as a team and have a memorable weekend.
Enjoy. Gordon

Winter training in Canada


A canoeing friend of mine from Canada sent me these pics of their winter training sessions at their club in Toronto, Quite organised hey, What about aproching Bollington pool to do the same. I was also sent a film clip, which Mike is trying to upload for me, quite interesting to see, Carrie training in the pool and she has an awsome style. Enjoy, Gordon

[Mike Corrin] Here is the clip (in Quicktime). (Q: shouldn't her head be looking forward and not rotating?)
