Hanging Up My Paddle

I have just finished a very cold weekend of paddling as a guinea pig for for a level 5 Assessment. Yesterday I was on the Spean Gorge with Scotty one of the candidates and had a great but cold time. Today I was on the Orchy, with Henry, which was running really low as well which made it quite entertaining and another great and long day on the river. Good luck to both candidates, although I think I am ready to hang up my paddle and buoyancy aid for the year and get my axes out!
