So it is still raining. The guys have been out paddling quite a bit. Our part time boys Ross and Scott are doing their bit for charity. For Maggies Cancer Caring Centre they were planning to Paddle from Killin to Dundee. A total Distance of 136km within 24hrs.
They are doing the trip in a Tahe Marine Reval Duo They were hoping to do the trip last weekend but the weather was against them. They got a good bit of training done though. They managed to get from Killin to Birnam in 7HOURS!!. Scott has just been in to tell us about the river. There were surf waves like he had never seen before and Grandtully was all but washed out. They decided to pull the trip short for safety. They had told the police they were on the river and the Police advised them not to continue. They are going to complete the journey this week. You can donate to this very worth while charity by clicking here or by popping in store and putting some coins in the collection tins.
Cam has not been out much on the rivers as he has been having a bit of trouble with his ears. He has been diagnosed with Surfer's Ear. A condition which has got worse for him over the last 2 years. He is off for a CT Scan this week so the doctors know what drill bit to use!. We'll keep you posted. In the mean time to protect yourself on the river or in the sea from surfer's ear you should make sure you have ear plugs or a skull cap.
