Over the last four months, I have joined a group of other paddlers on regular morning training sessions. We go out three times a week at 8am for an hour and a half at Portobello beach in NE Edinburgh.
It was just the three of us yesterday – Richard, Tina, and me – for my last session before heading off on Monday. Thanks to David, Richard, Tina, Gerry and Julie for putting me through my paces and providing company on some chilly mornings.
It’s now time to get my boat and kit all washed, dried, sorted and packed away in a way that it will all fit in the kayak – always a daunting task.
A few days ago I spent some time on the excellent BananaPrint website designing some cards I could use to advertise my trip. They came back yesterday, but missing a vital element. The 10 minute chat session with their support team was probably the best customer support experience I’ve had this year – Louise had me laughing with a great animated GIF with every reply. What’s more, she sorted the problem and the new cards arrived today.
