Paddle Power...


It’s symposium time again, the 25th anniversary of the Anglesey Kayaking weekend. Paddlers from all over Europe travel here to take part in all sorts of classes, from beginner to advance skills in paddling an 18 foot boat out on the open sea: All ages, all nationalities, all with one common interest.
The weather, as usual, was temperamental and changeable, with sunny skies and torrential downpours, all in the blink of an eye. The evenings were full of lectures and plenty of conversations about the day’s activities, with the last day of the weekend filled with live music, laughter and quite a bit of merriment taking place. No one drowned or was lost at sea, and lessons were learnt by just about everyone. Lessons that would be taken back home by the participates and put into practice and passed on to others for all to benefit from, this 25th Isle of Anglesey Kayaking Symposium.
