Last White Water Kayak






Today was the last White Water Kayak trip of the season for the U6 Adventure Bac students. Running from Buckfastleigh to Staverton, Ana and Alex had some high water levels to contend with but put in a good performance. Well done to Alex who has passed his 3 Star White Water Kayak.
