About me
I joined WKCC in 2018 as a non paddler. I now enjoy white water kayaking, with one of my favourite spots being the Dee in Llangollen. I have done my white water safety and rescue training, and currently working towards my white water leadership qualification. I also enjoy canoeing and overnight paddles.
