Perseverance is key to success.
Not ones to be beaten by a bit of cold water and a wobbly kayak, Big and I have got out there a couple more times.
Second time out we eventually made it from Marsh Benham lock, upstream and back without falling in. This is real progress.
Last night we went out again, having had a break of a couple of weeks, and it felt like we'd never seen a kayak before!
We did make it 200m before our obligatory soaking this time! Much to the delight of a jogger on the tow path.
After this slightly chilly entrance to the Kennet & Avon, we managed to complete a 'staggering' 4 miles without a further entrance into the 'not-so-deep brown'!
Hurray!
We even managed 4 portages (I believe they are called)
This time next year Rodders.............

Big and Phil are two novice kayakers who have taken it up on themselves to do the DW in 2010. This 125 mile canoe race, takes place Easter Sat/Sun and is a non-stop race (hopefully). The top teams finish this in approx 17 hours. We're not one of those! We hope to finish, we hope to finish in a good time, but importantly we hope to have fun!
