It's a warm day down at River Active next to the River Dee, at Llangollen, but the river is still very cold. This is our first white water swim event, we now have more members enjoying, or starting to, their adventures on moving water.

It's our first Tuesday meeting back on the Foulridge canal, the weather started off ok, but unfortunately rain comes during the session but we are a water sports club so we obviously carry on.

We welcomed 3 new beginners for their first time on the water, so some introductory skills tuition. In the end it was an evening of smiles :-)
