First of all I can't believe it's over a week since I started doing this and it's still going, so today was a bit of a chillout day and a chance for me to check all my canoeing gear for the weekend, fortunately I'm not using my kayak but using someone else's canadian canoe as I'm going for my intermediate qualifications in an open boat and although I've done a couple of big trips already in one (almost 200 miles the biggest) I need more practice on moving water, so I haven't had to do my usual checks on my own boat to make sure my airbags are fine, my foam footrest is still in place and my backrest ratchets arent cracked, one piece of good news is that my new surfing wetsuit can be used all year round so hopefully I won't have to wear too much over it to stay warm and I'm not planning on swimming on such a small river as the mersey canoe trail so it should be all good, and it will be the first time I've been on a river in almost 2 years so hopefully won't take that long to get back into it. Anyway make sure to check us out on twitter @BePositiveAday and on facebook at facebook.com/1PositiveEveryDay and stay positive.
