A Challenge

Went along to a local leisure centre tonight to attend a kayak club meet at the swimming pool. This is their winter training venue and Mr KT and I have turned up right at the end of the session before they head outdoors again. That wasn't the plan - we should have got ourselves organised earlier.
So tonight we had to demonstrate that we could swim (done) and escape from the boat when it had been tipped - without and with a spray deck (done). After that we felt thoroughly washed out and hadn't even started.
The club members were very friendly and there were coaches on hand to help us if needed. Our aim was a bit of a refresh and also to start to learn to do rolls - tipping over and getting back up. Not easy. But I was helped along with the first stages of learning and was dunked many times. By the time we headed home my sinuses were well and truly cleared!
Not sure if we will join the club. They do a lot of white water stuff - not quite what I was after. But it was nice to get back on the water.
Now, where did we put our boats ...?
