Alumni
A whole bunch of folk who were at LUCC at one time or another (or extras we have picked up along the way) all tend to carry on coming back to paddle, or, lets face it, never really leave. Some old and familiar faces (OK, we’ll just say familiar, less of the old thankyou) crop up at St Davids, Deniollen trip, and the other various trips throughout the year.
As well as keeping paddling, a bunch of them are actually doing other things(?!), how wierd: Having jobs, producing sprogs, doing a bunch of random stuff.
If you want to see their paddling and non-paddling adventures - what the Liverpool (ex)Uni Canoe and Kayak “Young’uns” have been getting up to lately, check out the alumni blog site, LUCKYBLOG

Turkish Delights in June
Turkey and kayaking weren’t words I had previously put together but when asked if I fancied a two week trip to Turkey to experience my first white water away from the UK I thought it was the perfect chance to get some sun and try to improve my boating. Six months later [...]
British summer paddling weekend
After some strong hints from Kaylia that she wanted to paddle this weekend a group of us had some fun on the Tryweryn and the Wnion with Andy Ince’s Birthday BBQ party in-between. Was not great weather for a BBQ but we didn’t mind as it was good for paddling.
Saturday saw me, Will, Lloyd, [...]

OK, more retro photos, this time from the “Balls 2 Africa” project which Jenny, Helen L and Ross were involved in last year. Jenny and her scouts teamed up with Swazi scouts to take a bunch of sports equipment for schools, provide activities and training, and help with building sports facilities there. Oh, and meet the king. [...]

Slovenia
After paddling a few rivers en-route we arrived at Camping Kovač near Bovec where Sue, Di & Higgo, who had flown out & hired a car, had already settled. As usual, team “Phil’s Girls” (Phil, Cath, Penny, Sara) arrived before team “Suave Silver Van” (Moik, Clur, Helen, Alison, Dinny). It was the middle of the [...]

The Mary Celeste
This is the moment when Mike and Phil recovered a raft, upturned and floating down the Soça river, just about to enter the Slalom section, where it was probably about to have quite an exciting time, all alone without a driver. Top river booty!
As you can see, despite starting our trip quite definitely in Europe, we [...]
