Daughter's first slalom, I'm now under orders to buy a second hand pink or purple 3.5M boat !!!
She does think of her old dad, she could want a brand new one.

Good idea Munchkin, perhaps increase the number of points needed for promotion as well. How about this for an un-reasonable idea that applies to both sexes; Everything is in the hands of the paddler. You know you have entered “insert big water course of your choice” , go and practise there before t...

I remember Linton Fish Ladder, although I seem to think the technical difficulty there was caused by how much you had been led astray in the Blacksmiths Arms over lunch time. Can't really comment on whether courses are getting too easy as this is my first season back for umpteen years. This topic s...

A theme keeps cropping up here, “we are loosing paddlers because the transition from div2 to div1 is to hard”. Doe’s anyone have any figures to back this up?

"Just as an aside if anyone was still around the course 9 ish Saturday night they would have seen Daniele Molmenti (well after consulting my I Spy Book of slalom paddlers I'm sure that's who it was) on the course. Watching him do 12 to 13 was an inspiration" Who was that mystery paddler? The man fr...

Hard course easy course etc. Lets not forget a group of people gave up their weekend to organise an event for approx 140 paddlers each day. So many thanks to MCC, Dave Brads and the many people who continually work in background at these weekends, so we can enjoy our sport (or not as the case maybe...

Very enjoyable weekend despite the lack of water as mentioned. I'm afraid you need to look at your results for Saturday. Jonathan Atkinson came last, not first in Div 3 K1 men (one day he will thank me for being on honest) And I'm pretty sure I'm right about the following; John Dickenson won the Di...

Nick, I'm with Paul on this, have another pint. This is a fantastic resource for the paddler and non paddler interested in Slalom. I feel this site makes you feel more involved in the whole Slalom community, with results, rankings, event news (UK and abroad), and much more that is so up to date. Th...
