Should have been the only things in the river today.
An adventurous first outing in the snow following our return from holiday. We elected to do the Mapledurham circuit this morning on account of the freezing temperatures. After pushing off within minutes ice was forming on the paddle shafts and top side of the Condor deck, Matt's lifejacket back was a block of ice, my hands were like ice despite the neoprene gloves.
We pushed on up to Mapledurham and back to the club, the strap on my Garmin broke so no data on the run.
Back at the club the main Saturday group were preparing to go out, in the boat bay we spent time chipping the ice off the boat, racked it up and headed back up to Matt's for a coffee.
We need to keep practicing despite the conditions, in 2008 the Easter weekend was notable because of snow, so we need to expect all weathers............
It's good to be back! Despite the frost bite (my fingers are still tingling from yesterday typing Sunday p.m.)
