Was a top day, weather was great, Loch Ard was stunning and it was sunny for the majority with an occasional gusty wind to make it interesting. Even had some snow but it was never terribly cold. Dave the coach was really excellent, most instructors will get this intuitively, but I loved the way he gave you a bit to do, let you figure out it's good bits and bad bits then tell you how to get rid of the bad aspects to give you a small jump in ability (in my case barely detectable!) I was also mightily impressed (and sickened!
) by how easy, effortless and efficient he made it look!! Swine!
Andy_e is the spec on the right
it
Nagual, making it look easy (damn nice looking boat!);
dave the coach
We then moved into one of the wee rivers that lead to the next lagoon down which was a great place to paddle, could have kept going on this one!
trying to get an action shot of nagual, but as we were both laughing our heads off it's a bit blurred!
we get our act together, sort of
now to scare the children and small animals, andy and me, note andy's swedish army cardigan and barely visible matching slippers
Should have put black rectangles over our faces... big ones!
All in all a cracking day out, great company and great coaching, would thoroughly recommend it. Dave may be looking to run another beginners course sometime later in the summer, I'll post the details here when if we get something sorted out.
Cheers,
Alan
