day 2 of Llanbedr

Everyone was up and ready for breakfast at 9, then we got told what was happening today.
After lunch the climbers went to climb whilst the canoers went to the estuary to practice kayaking and canoeing.
We attached the trailer full of kayaks and caoes to the mini van and set off down the road to the estuary where we unloaded the boats and carried them to the water.
We all had a great time and had a great laugh and some people tried higher skills such as balancing on the canoes and kayaks and other positions.
After a couple of hours on the water we got out and carried the boats back to the trailer were we loaded them and set off back to camp. Here we had to wash our kit so not to mess it up by keeping it covered in salt water and sand.

Llanbedr!

The first day was mostly just travel which was a bit boring but exciting knowing that we were heading to the place that we had been waiting for and practicing for, for weeks.
When arriving at Llanbedr the first thing was to decidce who was in what room and get a brief as to how the camp was working and what was going to be done whilst there.
After the briefing we were set into flights (A, B and C) i was in B flight, and then 1 flight at a time we had to go to the store and collect equipment such as; wet suit, bouyancy aid, kag and helmet.
We squared away our things in our lockers and such and then waited for dinner, and finally bed for the next day.

weeks canoeing

For a few weeks we were canoeing in order to improve our skills for the trek to Llanbedr.
We were placed on the tapton lock along with other students who we had to instruct, this improved our skills not only as a canoeist but also as a coach.
We all had great agreat times in these weeks but couldnt wait for Llanbedr.
