Best wishes for Sunday, you should all be ok, just remember that the hanging draw works better with a bit of momentum and a vertical paddle shaft. Also if you can rotate your body towards the side that you are drawing / hanging drawing on it is more efficiant.

Then again, I have found that you dont use the hanging draw that often river running any way, relying instead on reverse ferry glides.

Hope you all pass

Doesn't the 3 star still involve a deep water rescue, and am I right in thinking that only one of you has a dry suit.   Still a nice brisk swim should soon warm you up!!!   

Good luck, not that you'll need it.

By all acounts, the assessor is a very decent and fair minded bloke, an all-round "good egg" in fact ...

PS: As well as decent and fair-minded he is kind and understanding and wise

Apparently, Dave is so scared about the test he can't type!

It's not my typing skills I'm worried about......It's the other skills I need to 'draw' on.....
