Yes. See you there on Saturday at 10am, at the Kinloch Ard Community carpark. The TEITH will be a scrape,
I'll bring poles for sailing, maybe poling too.
Looks like a mild day but some gusts. See you there.

That's at the end of my School (work) Easter hols, but may try a day there. My mate, coach, may come too as she lives nearby.
I have been learning to snowboard with my Ol class, so may try to do some of that too, so many sports........

Phew, we had 18 club kayakers, canoeists and slalom boaters out on the canal today, ages from 3-63 !
Hot on the canal 21degs.

[h=3]Record-breaking temperatures in Scotland.[/h]Today was a very warm day across much of the UK. Provisional figures show that the highest temperature of 22.8 C was recorded at Fyvie Castle in Aberdeenshire, making this the warmest March day on record for Scotland.
Weather - snow Monday/Tuesday to low levels. Might get some Boarding action in at Glenshee. Rivers low just now, except the Tay and Lochy.
Hopefully the snowmelt will help levels.

I have only just seen this thread - good luck with your coaching awards 
I warn you though ...you never seem to end up earning as much from being a coach as all the courses, assessments, gear requirements, updates and other general hoop jumping needed to become a coach, actually costs you!
But somehow it all seems worth it! Keep up the good work and remember - "Keep the open side upwards"

I'm not doing it for cash as I teach full time but do a day a week as an Outdoor Learning Teacher in the same school.
Remit does not increase much between UKCC L1 and 2 though. The 4 Star Leader is better as you can lead 2(3), as long as the group is 2 Star or better.
Old style Level Four Coach is all I want to be the new system sucks IMHO - my remit is "Anyone Anywhere"
Only level 5 Coaches (canoe gods) can do more - legally!

Yes, I wish had kept going in the 90s to old Level 3 Open. Means I could do Spey and Loch Lomond trips with school. That's what I'm aiming for now.
It has been - 1 day FSRT, 1 Day 2 Star, 2 Days UKCC Level 1, 1 Day 3 Star Open, 2 3hr Foundation Modules, 2 Days L2 Training, 2 Days 4 Star Open Training. And I'm still 'Sheltered Water' remit until I do - 1 Day L2 Assessment, 2 Day 4 Star Open Assessment, 2 Day MWE training, 2 Day MWE Assessment.................. So that's why the Old system was better for quickly getting a good remit !

That is a lot of time and money that you are parting with to get your quallies there!
I hope the school is paying ....
