Today was supposed to be Dark and White followed by paddle at Matlock, but D&W cancelled for snow forecast so didn't risk it and came home last night. This left me short of a paddle this week so out on Ullswater again, in the wet snow. I've improved the fit of the boat and it's better but needs a bit more padding above the knees. It tracks very differently to what I'm used to in cross winds, and weirdly seemed I needed to lean to the right in both directions, I hope that's just me and the seat/footbar isn't wonky. In some ways dissapointed this was only 7 mins quicker than in my slalom boat, but on the other hand that is 42s a km faster which is quite a bit, and conditions were difficult today vs millpond, and I wasn't really trying too hard today, more just getting used to the handling. Not quite ready for the wings yet, which is just as well as that was my last job for my visit to the Peaks today to meet Cool Blue Canoes to get them sorted.
