1st day training Roudnice



We woke to another hot sunny day and after brekkie we headed north of Prague to Roudnice which is where the Junior Worlds will be held. Everyone excited to finally be paddling here and those (Ella & Shaun) who had been here last year back into familiar territory. We had two sessions, 10am and 3pm. The first was just getting to know the course and the second a techie session on the bottom third. In between we laid our tarpaulin out under trees and most of us fell asleep. A few of us have bad colds ( sue, ella and shaun) so obviously needed the kip.

The second session at 3pm was a techie on the bottom third and everyone getting to grips with Roudnice. We packed up and headed back to the apartment at Prague via Tesco. Lou and Sue cooked a killer stir fry and currently video review in action.

By the way the boys have bought new underwear, and some today decided to do their first washing in the bath. See photo.

We have a great roster going and everyone has a job, ranging from charging cameras to water and making sure we have repair gear. We did fail on repair today as someone left it all under a tree and kidda and Bradyn had to drive back to pick it up so C2 could fiz their paddle. as Kidda says we are ironing out all issues before it really counts.

Tommorrow we will stay at Roudnice for one night to famil with hotel and Pizzeria before we come back for Junior Worlds later in the trip. The other drama is Ella leaving her passport in hotel at Ceske B so hopefully that will arrive by courier tommorrow. ( at least we have located it) Everyone is in good spirits, hope the same in NZ.
