Staff training with a twist

Today some of the staff went on staff training . How lucky were we with such a sunny and warm day. We went onto the Menai Strait which is the stretch of the sea which separates the mainland to Angelsey.

Its a venue we use with some of our groups when we take them on a canoe journey and today we focused on how we run sessions and hazard awareness.

Its is one of those truly beautiful places that we have on our doorstep. It was also strange type of day as we found a mountain bike floating down past us at one stage. With skill we managed to collect it , look close at one of the pictures.

We even managed some surfing and had much fun in trying to get back up to our start point paddling against the tide, with a variety of techniques used by staff.

The boats we used today are sea kayaks, quite a long boat being designed to cut through the water.

Look what we found !

Sea kayaking in North Wales a little over dressed I think !

Ok then you wish to steal my wave
