For the practice session this Sunday I decided to learn how to steer. So that's me at the stern of the yellow boat. The coaches are encouraging all novice paddlers to learn how to steer early on so you get better at it. It's a skill you are expected to have. I did some research on t'internet and found the best analogy is that its like trying to push a shopping trolly backwards and keep it going straight ...so next time you're in Sainsbury's give it a go! It was hard to keep on target!! Had moments of brilliance followed by disaster but they said I did better than most by simply not going round in circles.Ha.
