Stand Up Paddle Boarding, Carsington
On 18th September, a group from the Veteran Community at Standto went to Carsington Water, for some end of summer water activities (what summer I hear you say ).
The day started with some instruction from Scott and then out on the water like a squadron of seals lying on paddleboards, getting out in deeper water, then the build up of rising to knees with an occasional wobble and splash as someone fell in. Getting stood up was the next challenge but many of us from the skateboard/snowboard generation managed this, but as with all new hobbies accidents (well splashes ) occurred.
Only one person managed to stay dry , we put it down to a low centre of gravity (vertically challenged).
A fun time was had by all and some great bonds built whilst encouraged by each other.
A full debrief was held over coffee and the obligatory sausage roll.
