British Winter Time

Things have been fairly quiet lately so blog posts have been sparse! With plans forming for the year it is looking exciting. At the moment I have been focusing on my career as a kayaking instructor, so I have been attending courses and have two assessments in February which will allow me to be a much more employable instructor!

Last weekend I did my 4* training with Escape to Adventure, it was great! First day we had high water levels on the Dee and on the Sunday we had low levels on the upper Conwy, I learnt lots and found out pretty quickly that I was more than ready for assessment. So fingers crossed for February!

Things are also looking exciting on the racing front! With The Moriston race shortly posting there date for this year and entry opening on the 31st the first leg of the race is to actually get entered! This is a seriously popular event and will be fastest fingers on the mouse that will get a place. The Norway trip is looking likely for July, with a friend getting a job out there it's going to be fairly easy to fly out and boat! I've also been given the green light to hit the Sickline again, sweet!

With short funds, America will have to wait for this year! Training for the Moriston will begin this Spring, but I am still keeping on top of the workout regime! Regularly running, lifting weights and cycling. This is looking like an exciting year, full of change and surprises! Bring it on :)
