Gorge Weekend

Kayaking
Personal

28/7
Group: Me, Lana, Parfitt, Tim, Rhys, Jon, Mike, Cam, Harvey, Tim (2nd year), Kieran (1st year)
Conditions: Sunny, no wind
Flow: 50 cumecs
Grade: 3

Contemplation at Roosters
Time to put some work into kayaking and get my confidence back, cos I'm not feeling too flash. Went right from the top of the gorge cos we're not allowed to walk up at the moment, but this was good for me. Lana and I went ahead of the boys until we got to the 3's and we worked the rapids as much as we could, I just followed Lana and tried to copy exactly what she was doing. Decided that we should do some all girl runs of the gorge with just me and her and Emma (and some other girls if they want to come). Took easy lines down the 3's, but it went pretty nicely.

Harvey smashed his face in Arlenes so we got out reasonably quickly after that cos we thought he was probably concussed.

After lots of messing around with shuttles we finally got on the river. Feeling somewhat better than yesterday,  but need some rolling practice, doesn't feel strong at all.
