Looking forward to paddling at Orton Mere this Sunday.
Course will be up from 3pm on Saturday and despite some recent rain the wave is looking very gentle.

Kick off is 12 noon and entries close at 11 o'clock.

But as you know it's a fairly relaxed event.

Course is up and there's a small wave so should be a good event.

Have fun.

The courses gave the majority (I'm sure there was someone who found the 2 days easy - not me!) some technical challenge and kept us on our toes. Great to meet up again with fam...

Another plug for Proteus slalom at Orton Mere on the outskirts of Peterborough (Easy access off the A1). It's a great event for Div 4 and 3 K1 youngsters (and oldies).
