More practice on Coniston

Not written much in the blog lately, so just a bit of a catch up. We have had a few trips out on our normal practice lake, Coniston Water, in various conditions. The latest today saw us paddle practically the whole length of the lake and back again. At the moment we are just trying to build up our stamina for a trip we have booked in April when we will be on a four day intermediate Sea Kayaking course.That said, at the end of the paddle today Tina did practice a couple of self rescues. I thought it was a bit cold for that, but we will need to practice our rescue techniques before the course.
