I joined the club in Spring 2008, having only done a little bit of paddling (my one star!) before then – but I've never looked back.  Most of the paddling I do is whitewater, but I'm hoping to do more open canoeing and I've also done a little bit of sea kayaking which is a fantastic way to see the coastline.
