Another thrash and 2 ounces lost

This has been a good week. We have actually managed to knock a few outings in. Mad Morgan is as ever classically athletic whilst Beaujolais is still as portly as ever- although incredibly 2 ounces lighter. In boating terms we are beginning to get it together. We are managing to keep the Merlin upright and […]

The Autumn Leaves Lie Thick and Still

And mostly on the surface of the canal…. those paddling at this time of year will appreciate the 3 strokes of silence we get once the leaves have been dislodged! #simplethings

It’s Shameful

No one is judging us (or are they?). But Beaujolais is still not getting into a proper training routine. Work and other non paddling life responsibilities and tribulations are still getting in the way. The result is that his own desperate physical state is not improving. Mad Morgan on the other hand is as fit […]

All roads lead to Devizes…. But it can be scary out there!

Another paddle last night. More wobbles to the point that Beaujolais’s rear end was giving a performance that Miley Cyrus would have been proud of. But another 10km under the belt, 10 bloody cold kilometers- 0.5 degrees C. Mad Mo really feeling it as he lacks the natural layers that enhance his partners physique. All […]

More tweaking the K2

Another cold night another paddle last night. I think this is now going to be the norm. Still tweaking the set up. We have moved Mad Morgan’s feet forward. This has involved taking a hacksaw to the footplate- it was not pretty but in outcome terms looks to have been effective- for the moment- as […]

A rare sighting of The Green Goddesses- Dirty D and The C Word take to the water

The Scottish k2 Championships look to have been great fun with a big entry especially the 10k course. Good to see Dirty D and The C Word back in action together, in fact it is our understanding that they were the quickest Ladies Veteran K2 crew who happened to be dressed in Green. Meanwhile Beaujolais […]

The darkness descends… The lights are on!

The Clocks changed and evening outings arranged for after 5pm now require full night time rig. It is quite incredible how dark it can get and how it can happen so quickly. The temperature has also dropped. In one week we have gone from paddling in bare feet and shorts to full thermals, cags, hats […]
