Aire Waves
Leeds Canoe Club Blog. We paddle... lots!
Airewaves used to be Leeds Canoe Club's magazine letting people know what the club was upto. Its quite hard work pulling together a publication letting people know what the club is doing and publishing dates in advance is always hard as things tend to change. Step forth the blog.. Push button publishing for the masses. So here is the idea a few people in the club take it in turns to write up trips and talk about things in the club.

Monday 4th saw Andy , Mark, Steve & Cat take time of work to drive back to the tees with the hope the
that the 2 boats were still there. An early start, but the closing of the a1 delayed us by an hour.
I knew the boats were just down stream of the greta confluence so we walked along the oposite bank to locate the boats - my bright orange boat was easy to spot. we decided the safest approach was to recover them from the bank they were on, so we drove up to abbey bridge and walked in for the 2km. Steve climbed round on the river bank to locate the boats whilst the rest of us climbed down through the wood and using ropes we managed to pull my boat and paddle up to safety. Unfortunately mark's boat wasn't there so we can only assume the river rose over night and washed one of the boats away. We continued searching for a while and mark walked along both sides of the bank but it wasn't found.
So only a semi-successful boat recovery on monday morning.
