Down By The Dam - Core Coach Training

Friday night and im starting this blog a day early, I packed up my gear and set out for another adventure down to St Helens for a Core Coach Training Course and oh boy was it gonna be fun, its the first time in 8 months that I have been in any sort of vessel, whether that be a kayak, canoe or even a SUP, but I was going to enjoy it even if the weather was a little rubbish, im an outdoor person, this is normal for me ๐Ÿ˜… 

Don't I look so happy in this photo, it was the face if do I really wanna leave this warm pub for something a little more chilly ๐Ÿคจ

Saturday Morning, Time 0600, so it begins .... yoga, meditation ๐Ÿง˜‍♀️ then get ready for 0900 to meet up with the group and my old lecturer/instructor Matt, oh darn was I nervous, im not very good round new people I've never met before so today will be a bit nerve wrecking but at least I can say my new tent survived the night of terencious rain, wind and goodness knows what else lurked outside ๐Ÿ˜† 

Today's session consisted on getting used to a boat again, teaching some coaching skills along the way and also learning how to solo canoe with the wind in 24mph which was slightly terrifying as I didn't really want to fall in ๐Ÿ˜ฌ 


Lunch time came and we reflected on some coaching techniques and of course snacks and food where intaked along the way ๐Ÿ˜œ, I learnt alot from today and cannot wait for tommrows adventure with a sea kayak, hopefully the weather is a bit more clearer and alot less windy ๐Ÿ˜„ 

Let's finish of the day with a rainbow and I believe the pot of gold is in the lake ๐Ÿ˜…


Well 2nd day on the water and it was a smashing day .... out and about learning new moves , getting out of comfort zones etc and of course the weather may have been cold but it was dry and a super nice day 
It was  nice to get back onto the water after nearly a year off paddling and it was fantastic 

Time to explore more courses and become one with the water again and discover my ability again to become one with the boat 

Come back again when my adventures hopefully take off again possibly not as adventurous as I want but its still an adventure whether its small or large its about the fun and discover who you are and make your life a nature person and one with the world again
