Tom and I have just been to Austria for three days of white water paddling with professional coach, Andy Turton. We had a fantastic time and really recommend any club members giving Andy a call and getting themselves booked onto an Easy Jet flight to Innsbruck ASAP. Tom and I were beginners when we went last year - three days with Andy on the big fast River Inn was a brilliant way to upgrade our skills, so don't hold back!
We then went down to Corsica and had a bit of a paddle on the Med. A very relaxing place to go sea kayaking - no tides to worry about, beautiful clear water, hot sun...ahhh.
