20th May 2011 Kayaking - Surf Skiing: Alton Water Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny sunset :) Max Speed: Distance Covered: approx 4.5 So to the main event the twight canoe,the idea being set off at 7.45 canoe up past the limit to Lemon Hill bridge,have a break and then canoe back as it gets dark :) After the afternoon bike ride we had time for a cuppa and then I set about blowing up our Sevylor Colarado canoe !!! I had just finished when the lad from Alton came over and sain that inflatables are not allowed :( so we had to hire one of the centre's lovelly canadian canoes for £24 which was a great price for two of us and included two night camping :) The forecast was for cloud but lucky for us there was hardly a cloud in the sky as at 7.45 30 boats set off up the lake as the sun was setting with Linda on the bank taking picture's and watched by families of canadian greese !!! We had a fanastic slow paddle into the setting sun, chatting to some friends in the rescue boat who we had'nt seen in years :) making Lemon's Hill just as the sun was disappearing behind the trees !!! Mag and I did a slalom under the bridge supports before setting off on the return leg.Alot of the canoes seemed in a hurry to return but we hung back to make it last as we watched the nesting turns feeding in the falling light :) We were the last boat on the water but sadly it was still not completely dark but Mag did light her glow stick just for fun !!! We the had some pizza and drink included in the price before getting changed and sitting out with the Hurrells chatting and Mag even saw a shotting star - so a top day was had by all and we can't wait to get our canoe out again soon !!!
