Re: Access Awareness April 2012

I think people are missing the point of Simon's first post. The point was made that it would not disrupte the event and simply to draw the publics attention to the campaign. Banners, Bells, whistles and shouting are all part of competative sport and if this would disrupt the 'less experienced paddle...

Re: Access Awareness April 2012

I don't think anyone would want to affect/distract an athletes performance, preperation or in general the running of the event.

Re: Training Partner

Training Partner

I've recently moved to Harrogate and i'm looking for any other slalom paddlers in the Harrogate area for training, travelling to races or general paddling.
Have been training on the flat in Knaresborough.

Anyone who's interested please PM me.

Thanks
Simon
