|
Favourite Playspot |
Nottingham, I suppose. I haven't really gone very far in my playboat but I'm hoping to get to Uganda this Summer. | |
|
Best Canoeing Experience |
The first time I went boating after a climbing accident put me in a wheelchair. I was so nervous beforehand but it was total euphoria during and afterwards. | |
|
Worst Canoeing Experience |
Probably
a "face versus rock" moment on the Urts in Austria.
I was unconscious and upside down with no paddle. I came round and then hand rolled and then hand paddled to the eddy. The look on the faces of the lads will stay with me forever. |

Most Embarrassing Canoeing Experience |
While learning to paddle C1 there have been rather a large number of swims. A few of them I can put down to equipment failure but the majority are down to me being crap! | |
|
Significant Results |
Improving! ;-) | |

Message |
Playboating is supposed to be about having fun. Remember that! | |
