Hi Lou,

Quote:
does anyone know of any other similar events (running, cycling or swimming etc) that will be going on next year
There's usually something going on every weekend. Check out the calendar and forum on this website for ideas - Sportzhub

My first experience in the kayak went reasonably well and I managed to stay upright. Getting in and out was especially tricky and I came perilously close to falling in before I'd got in (if that makes sense!?!). I have a horrible feeling that kayaking is addictive...... I had a fantastic dream last night in which I won the Coast2Coast, grabbed gold in the white water slalom at the Olympics and paddled across the Cooke Straight in world record time. No sign of a Dave though :)

Grade 2 courses take between 3 and 5 days and cost anything from $300 to$800 depending on who you go with and whether or not you need to hire a boat. There are loads of providers, so shop around. It's getting too cold now, so not many courses are available at the moment. They start again in October. You wouldn't want to swim the kayak part of the Coast 2 Coast as it's very cold, very shallow and very bumpy (apparently).
