Well well what a fun day .. (excuse my typing- when i type fast I go dyslexic !!!!! lol )
a few border patrollers had booked a while ago to go white water rafting in wales. you may recall Luckypants (Mike) is in to kayaking with his kids ( adult kids) both being top notch and his daughter inthe GB team-
lhis daughter is the instructor on the pics here-

so.. Mike organised the trip. - it was postponed due to stuff from march to today !! .. ( pete and Lissa- pete got Lissa it for valentines- awww how romantic) ..

in the boat were

Luckypants
speedy claire
melody
Lisssa
Drew (from drew and Lily)
Hovis.. you know him surely.

and watching were
Lily-
me
mr Uki
Scooby
Jamesnhill
and a few more !!..


we arrived a lil late me n Uki- but they had not got in to the water yet- ..

apparently Hovis turned up ON HIS BIKE ! with a bright pink bikini over jis leathers -there ARE pics I assure u somewhere. he rode for 2 hours like that on the public roads.! lol


a brief in th eboat on dry land and then they went off up the hill to come back down on the river and the rapids.. !

ok
I know you want pics.>>







mikes daughter (Lowry>?? please corect if wrong) at front- with the seven dwarves behind- apologies folks- the wetsuits are not too flattering.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b326/sigourneysbeaver/white%20water/DSCF5278.jpg

Lissa- the paddle is as tall as she is !

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b326/sigourneysbeaver/white%20water/DSCF5279.jpg



sorry Lissa- I WASstood onthe back of the trailer to take that shot



Luckpants in not so lucky rubber

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b326/sigourneysbeaver/white%20water/DSCF5280.jpg



they were all laughing and larkin about- then it got serious and they had a very proffessional briefing which had the desired effect and "sobered" them all up to concentrate as they could hear the rapids right next to them .. and it brought it home that they were gonna career down this river in a rubber boat with 6 other folk and only one of them knowing what she was doing ! ha !

they did brill- it is open water for kayaks and there were loads-! I mean about 50 !! I dont know if the blow up boats take priority - Mike will educate us on that but there seemed to be a lot of etiquette and it was all very happy and fun and very very safe..


but look wha tthey had to steer through as well as look out for rocks and rapids and getting wet AND having HOVIS inthe boat- you could hear him screaming like a sissy girl from the river bank.. lol

Only thing missing now is any shots of us surfing the raft on the Cafe wave, right outside the centre. I saw Quiff trying to get some shots / video(?) between some folks stood on the bank, so am hopeful he may provide us something?

AFAIK we were the only raft to surf the cafe wave on Sunday, so well done chaps and chapesses. My kids were boating until 5 and had not seen / heard of any other raft making it onto the wave.
