Also known as BUSA slalom, hosted by Durham Uni CC and chums at Teeside in the industial North. A crack team from North Wales set off in a state of disrepair after a night of celebrations at the end of exams. Accomodations were shared with Manchester, and proved to be salubrious throughout.
Ooops! - Pic Lowri Davies
A shocking first run saw me accidently dodge outside of a gate, and mess up the following sequence, leaving me an unimpressive 103rd, and secretly pretty miffed. My second run proved to be just the ticket however; somehow it all clicked, I made every gate, with only one 2 second penalty. Regardless of the time I positively skipped back up the bank, delighted to have redeemed my run for myself. When it was all totted up I had made 33rd, which I am very proud of, particuarly as I was in a creek boat, mainly due to my own laziness!
Our C2 team was a disgrace, and the rest of Team Bangor did admirably, putting us in 15th place over all, despite limited numbers.
Yeah, I know, the pictures aren’t that great! More coming soon when I mend my Gallery.- EDIT - Pics now in the gallery
Big thanks to Rhi and the Manchester Uni Canoe Club, Durham and the organisers, and anyone else who made yet another weekend fantastic.
