Lee Valley - Again - For Matt

Here you go then Matt, a reminder of just how big that water really is.

Enjoy  : )

First off Matt, make your way to the top of the course

With your chums.

Remember, what goes up, must come down.

It's big enough to swallow a paddler - whole.

Matt, even the best get stuck in the big, gobbly stoppers.

 Clingon astern, Captain.

Foreshortening does the humongous water no justice at all.

This looks more like it, especially the last drop.

It can eat a whole raft.

Still afloat - I fancy a bit of that - giggle.

Then all you need to do is pop out .....

of your wet gear.

Lee Valley Paddling

Shiny, happy paddlers:

Testing times for the intrepid crew.

Lambs to slaughter.

OK, you passed, go forth and .....

prepare to die.

Bit of a wash out for some.

Lucky to have such caring chums. Either that or they're nicking your boat, Paul!

Paul.

Paul.

Still Paul.

Matt.

Plucky Paul heads into a mighty big wall of water.

Nice.

Matt, will not to be out done.

Focus.

Phil giving it rice.

As the instructor said - 

"Phil, smooth and easy" -

Wonder what he was alluding to?

Serious business paddling.

Call this white water?

 Pahhhhh!!!! S'easy.
