Do you want to get up at 7am to go kayaking in the cold and damp? Of course you do!
Meet at the boathouse at 7:15am, off the water by 8:30am so everyone can get to those all important 9am lectures. Will be a mix of sprints, drills, chat, and general hard work but also fun.
Please make sure you are already comfortable wearing a spraydeck and with basic boat skills before coming (just because swimming at 7am isn't fun for anyone involved).
Can't wait to see you there
