Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the info, am always up for trying new venues, in term of water, how does it compare with current div 2/3's eg Fairnilee or Abbey Rapids.

Cheers

Looking for some info on the Tynedale Div 2/3 that will be run mid April. I take it this is a new venue and was looking for some comparisons with other div 2/3 slaloms that currently run. Any info on nearby B&B's and campsite/caravan sites would be appreciated.

Thanks

Davie

John,
Thanks for your honesty, now you have put me in a spot, do I leave it and accept the additional 49 points or contact Nick and have it corrected !!!! Decisions decisions.

Paddled at Washburn at the weekend in Div 2 Vets. On Saturday I had a reasonable 1st run which would have given me (by my calculations 951 pts) However my not so good second run has been recorded as a time of 13.3 seconds!!!! (total 23.3 including penalties) This has resulted in me being given 1000 ...

Ok, so I am the wrong side of 49 and 3/4 and need some advice. Having reached the dizzy heights of Div 1 I am now plying my trade in Vets and really enjoying my racing, just looking for some info on race day preparation, what to eat, when to eat, warm up routines etc. Never had any formal coaching,j...

Terry,
Must admit had a pretty poor Matlock and was disappointed by my paddling (going to use my new boat as an excuse Sorry Dave), really love my new boat and will see its benefits nrext season.

Terry,
My calculations tie in with yours, and you sneaked it by 5 points!!!!. Dave's getting old so his counting isn't so good.

Looking forward to next year already !!!!

Cheers

Thought the pictures in HD were fantastic and Hradilek's cross bow was just brilliant, the Brits certainly had us holding our breath, roll on the rest of the week.

Just to re-iterate Terry's comments, welcome to Vets, great bunch and nice laid back racing
