Just a short paddle to come out and burn a few calories. It’s a great chance for anyone who has not paddled in the cold to experiment on what to wear. The keys are multiple thin layers under your cag or windproof top. Glove wise it’s personal choice. Some people find neoprene gloves reduce their feel of the paddle. I’ve got no sense so I don’t wear gloves but you can try, pogies, sailing gloves (see Tony), neoprene gloves, washing up gloves or I’ve been told those disposible latex gloves are good as they are thin and cheap but keep the wind off a bit.
Also consider head layers under your helmet for some.
Meet at Eckington Bridge car park at 9:30 but please let Clive know that you are coming by 5pm Saturday so he knows to expect you. Eckington map can be found by searching site for previous Eckington posts.
