Manchester paddlers visit Windermere for training sessions.

Visitors to Paddlers for Life, Windermere.

Two full boats were out with visitors from Paddlers for Life, Manchester getting some extra training prior to their visit to Sarasota in October. We also had two paddlers from Preston getting some tips and training for a dragon boat event at Preston Dock and a visitor who used to paddle with Pink Champagne in Dorset. Diet and Peter coped well with some blustery NW winds which made for interesting helming and paddling. This did not stop paddlers from practicing stroke technique, stamina building and race start practices.
