Lakes weekend 2012 was over the weekend of the 20th-22nd of January. This is a weekend organized by LUUCC each year. Usually around 60-80 members of the club head up to the lake district and enjoy the whitewater that the area has to offer. I am not sure if it

So I'm being driven down the motorway and a van drives past. The van is some sort of courier for a furniture company. The address of said firm is '1 Blunder Street, Blackpool'. I see a variety of problems relating to credibility associated with such a

The phrase goes: "I am just going to jump in the shower" Jumping in the shower is inefficient. Why not stand in the shower, and wash yourself - that is the point of having a shower, and will allow you to get out in a more time efficient

On Wednesday (19/10/2011) Jack, Jamie, Bryn and I headed out to Linton Falls on the River Wharfe for a bit of park and play fun. This was our second Wednesday trip as part of our Wonderful Wednesdays format :) The falls weren't particularly high, nor particularly low,

On Sunday a group of us headed up to the lakes with the university club. The intention was to run the Leven (which i'd never run before), but sadly the river dropped massively overnight. In the end we decided to run the Kent twice - the first time
