The Hound Grows in Size !

The u14's Dash Hound race series only in it's 2nd year boasts 51 young paddlers on the start line !

Twenty four of them were Wey kayaker's - all paddled incredibly well,

especially as there was an added element to the race this year called 'fishing line challenge', if fact 'little'Ella actually got hooked & reeled in !

We were also incredibly lucky to have no less than 7 junior canoeists take part in the race , with Kuba,Miki, Katie & Saira being the Wey contingent with their very proud coaches John & Eric paddling along side to give encouragement.

Special mention should go to Miki who I'm sure is the first ever Wey paddler to take part in a C1 race & then jump straight out & into a kayak to do the Hare & Hounds !

Start line mayhem !

Massive WELL DONE to all that took part !

Must not forget Holly, Alex,Lucy,Oliver & Gabi who did the Hare & Hounds - Wey to Go !

Matt The Motivator !

Matt Welch one of our elite senior paddlers very kindly took time out of his busy training regime with the GB squad (& dare I say filming schedule - watch out for him on a bill board near you in the near future !) to come & do a workshop with the U14's.

He concentrated on some key core stability exercises that they could use through the winter months when doing circuits . Then got them all on the 'ergo' & gave lots of useful tips & advice on technique.

Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of Matt in action on the ergo with the kids sitting all around watching him rack the speed up - you'll have to take my word for it they looked very motivated to me !

Matt a big THANK YOU from Pam & all the kids, we think you're great !

Mum's the word !!!

The U14's had their last Thursday water based paddle for the winter & managed to combine it with some Halloween mayhem when off the water !

Guess who's under the loo roll ????
