This is then divided by the average number of hours spent on the water per day times the total gradings for all runs(as defined in the Knowles Alps guides). TTC= AvS/H +G This gives a formula: Total trash count TTC= AvS/H +G Where Av.S=Average swim count over trip H = Average number of hours spent on water per day G = Total gradings for all runs including repeat runs. The Total trash count is then divided by the total number of paddling + days to give the TTQ TTQ=TTC/d TTQ=TTC/d where d = number of paddling days. Okay so you guyz that got O level or G.C.S.E. Maths (I failed mine three times) get working out the TTQ for India. Note to calculate carefully noting that one should sometimes use totals and sometimes averages. - September 2008 13 Canoe Camping Club October 2008 17 18 - Poole Harbour 19 1 1 Monthly Meeting: 2 Improvers course 14 Canoe Camping Club 20 KCC AGM (booking TBC) - Poole Harbour 20:30 at The Fox Inn, 21 3 Monthly Meeting: 22 15 29 High Street, 20:30 at The Fox Inn, 16 Steventon 23 PYCC Pool Session 24 29 High Street, 17 Club Night OX13 6RZ Steventon 25 Scotland week ( til 1st 18 KCC Pool Session 2 KCC Pool Session OX13 6RZ 19 November) 3 26 4 Oxfordshire Paddlesport 20 Pyranha-fest on Tryweryn 27 4 28 Pool Session 21 Pyranha-fest on Tryweryn 5 22 29 20:00 – 21:30 6 30 5 23 7 31 6 8 24 Club Night 31 7 Todd Morris Memorial 25 PYCC Pool Session 9 PYCC Pool Session KCC Triathlon 26 10 Tony’s Dart weekend Trash your diary! your Trash 8 27 11 Tony’s Dart weekend 9 Improvers course 28 Ockfest Wavehopper & 12 Tony’s Dart weekend 10 Club Night Boatercross 13 11 Oxfordshire Paddlesport 14:00 – 17:30 14 10th November 29 15 AGM 8pm Pool Session 30 12 16 KCC Pool Session Wantage Cricket club TRASHER JULY/AUGUST 08 4 Pool Timetable For information, all pool session dates are shown below for 2008/2009.

This year provided the toughest triathlon yet. It included paddling against the Thames in spate and cycling through a mud bath. The only consolation for paddling to the Nag’s Head against the current was whizzing downstream along with the current. Despite a lack of sun, the rain managed to stay at away long enough for the event and BBQ to be completed in the dry. This was lucky as Dave Surman had left half of the Gazebo at home. We had a good turn out of athletes and spectators. I was robbed the opportunity to win due to a puncture on his (well Simon’s) bike Iain Shield 5 mins into the cycle stage. Fastest kayak A special award for determination goes to Isaac who completed the event despite capsizing near the start of the kayak event. Despite being soaked, he completed the event in a respectable time. Unfortunately no one from Todd’s family could attend this time but they sent their regards. Kate says if anyone finds themselves in Cornwall, she’d love to see you. A total of £95 was raised during the event for Cancer Backup Michael Neil (www.cancerbackup.org.uk). Hopefully my employer (Vodafone) will match this Fastest cycle as I organised the event. Andy McMahon You are all allowed a couple of weeks break before your 2009 triathlon training Fastest run regime begins. I am looking forward to seeing more of the club and friends of the club taking part in the event next year.

Qualifications and experience 3 I am 64 years old and reside in Christchurch. I hold BSc (Hons) and PhD degrees in Chemistry from the University of Canterbury and have worked all my professional life until 2010 as a research chemist and scientist in wool science1 at the Wool Research Organisation of New Zealand (Inc) and its successors. 4 In the last five years I have been working virtually full time in a voluntary capacity as Conservation Officer for Whitewater NZ, on various issues concerning river and water conservation in New Zealand. 5 Since being introduced to sailing boats as a youngster, and then joining the University of Canterbury Canoe Club (UCCC) in 1971, and building my first canvas white water kayak, I have developed a life-long interest in white water paddling. This has involved me making journeys over the last forty six years to various well-known white water rivers throughout New Zealand and also in the United Kingdom, France, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Australia and the USA.

Little were we to dream she would walk away with a bronze medal. It was a trip of events as it wasn’t only the hand that got attention, a lorry ran in the back of the hire car, took out the rear window and we could no longer open the boot of the car. It was at this point gaffer tape had more uses that just patching slalom boats. Jacquelyn is pictured with the C2 pair and our Olympic C1 silver medallist Dave Florence, they all also got bronze at the Pre Worlds. Jonathan had a great time reaching the finals in both events. The Teen Cup was divided up into U17 and U15; Jonathan was the 2nd U17 winning a paddle and extremely nice home made Czech cake, another of the GB girls also So I had to alter my holidays after that and won a cake so we had no problems with agree to work part of August.

  • By Chris Crowhurst
    By Chris Crowhurst I doubt many people would disagree with the statement that the first roll you learn is probably the hardest. This past year I have had the pleasure of working with many novice paddlers who wanted to learn their first Greenland roll; each experienced different challenges. Through my experiences of teaching I have seen three distinct categories of obstacles that people tend to experience: 1. equipment; 2. physical fitness; and 3. mental fitness. Rather than dive into the mechanics of learning your Consider moving the foot pegs to force their legs to be first roll, this article highlights the obstacles that you can in constant contact with the kayak. Remember though remove or deal with before attempting to learn to roll, that when learning we all tend to use too much pressure thereby improving your probability of success. and end up bruising our legs. Make sure appropriate padding exists, or at least warn the paddler to expect Equipment bruising and pain if they don’t have it. At their first rolling training session most people show up enthusiastically with their boats and gear, eager Spraydecks to mimic those people they have seen rolling. Many It is fairly rare to be teaching a first roll to someone are ill-equipped and do not appreciate the additional wearing a tuilik (a traditional Greenland paddling jacket challenge their equipment can create for them to learn and spray deck, combined). More often than not, that elusive first roll. first-timers show up with a nylon spraydeck which has little to no stretch in it.
