Back out working with Plymouth College today on a staff white water kayaking trip. We paddled the Lower section of the River Dart (Holne Bridge - Buckfastleigh). Gwilym and I took 5 members of the Plymouth College staff for an introduction to White water kayaking. This section has some good benchmark grade 2 and great places to teach breaking in and out of the flow and ferry gliding. All but Anya had a taste of the water temperature but came up smiling and keen to carry on. The previous nights rain pushed the water levels up so we opted to get on below Holne weir and portaged around Buckfastleigh weir. The day was finished off nicely with tea and cake at the station cafe followed by a sociable meal at Simon's house.
