Hi it's Emily Brown, today after the Alva slalom I think someone
got my paddles mixed up with theirs and took the wrong set home as
mine have gone missing and I was left with a similar pair. Mine are
fairly new black Double Dutch paddles and they don't have any
distinguishing stickers on them, they also don't have a hand grip. The
set I was left with are also black Double Dutch, they have a hand grip
and they are slightly shorter (so I assume it's a younger paddler).
Would you be able to please check your paddles and see if you have the
right ones? Thanks

Thanks Bankside...
Johnny is working frantically tweaking handicaps for race 2, I'll put a start list up in the next day or two, and when we get revised handicaps, they will appear on the list.
Glad you mentioned the parking - thank you to everyone for being so understanding...I am sure when you walked across the field it became pretty obvious why we couldn't use it for parking...I think we'd still be digging folk out now ???
Start list and results are available from the main Canoe Slalom website
See you in a couple of weeks...

Hi Slink
Given what is happening today (SEPA - Devon)
You may want to post an update on plans for Sunday, pretty wild out there :p

Bank full is around 3.0m, so the level is high but contained, in fact it should give us plenty of opportunities for the course build tomorrow! A better gauge is this one: Glenochil
We are at the course tomorrow, so I will post on here and on the start list which is available from the main website if there is any change.
NO POST = NO CHANGE
