Shannon and I are visiting Flattach for the second time. To my mind this is the most beautiful location we have visited in pursuit of slalom courses. Nestled in the Austrian Alps the views in all directions are stunning. There is an easy run along the grass path or tarmacked road to keep up with the action. The water looks cool (cold!) […]
At first glance it was just another day at Stone, but amongst the parents and children lining the river bank was a Blue Peter film crew with the shows presenters Lindsey Russel and Richie Driss. Blue Peter had decided they wanted to make a film about canoeing and where better […]
An excellent weekend at Cardington. Issac had fantastic weekend taking the hot spots in C1 and little brother didn’t shy away from the competition either by beating his brother’s K1 time at Sundays racing. It was good to see the new paddles christening there paddles in new water and having […]

Slalom inspires, at the end of April, was one of the best experiences of my canoeing life. Despite taking place in Wales, at the midst of Storm Hannah and her 50 mph winds, it was still a fun experience. On the first morning, the first thing we did was a team […]
I have often heard of great weekends away racing at Llandysul and I can now see why! What a beautiful, peaceful and relaxing place! There was a steady flow of S&SCC members arriving at the site on Friday evening and it was a super sight seeing everyone settling down and looking […]
It was just Jessica Croome, Olwen Yates and Finley Croome from the club at Bradford & Bingley Canoe Clubs race at the lovely Wagon Lane. Set on the banks of the River Aire, surrounded by rugby and cricket pitches, you had no idea you were so near a large town. […]
We managed to grab Adam whilst he was home in Stone for a chat about his time canoeing, GB Team selections, Japan 2020 and everything in-between.
