Wednesday January 10th - cheeky weekday paddling

Bright, blue skies, sunshine - what more could a man want except some more water maybe? The Greta was at a perfect medium - high level, but today was about coaching Chris and trashing his confidence wasn't on the agenda (long swims on the Greta are mandatory if you have no roll!). Instead, a fun poodle down the upper Derwent - fabulous scenery and nothing too testing on the water.
Straight forward run down from Seathwaite to Longthwaite where we spent a good while considering lines and moves on the only real rapid (G2+). The plan suggested that four strokes to control the boat were enough; it was, even if Chris ran a completely different line!!
Good day, must do more of this "skiving off to paddle" stuff!
