My activity today was canoeing, at the start it was pretty hard having to swim against the strong current but we got the hang of it pretty quickly. We were taught how to steer the canoe with the paddle as a rudder and you had to push away to go right and squeeze the paddle to go left. As we paddled down stream we had to stop on a shingle beach but as some people were close to the left side some of the others were next to the bank on the right so as the ones on the left drifted onto the beach the people on the right were pulled away by the current and drifted down stream (some people had to be rescued). When we travelled down stream, we let the current pull us as we looked at the spectacular sights. Near the end we stopped on another shingle beach and started to jump into the water, we walked out into the current and then lifted our feet up to let the water do all of the work. After that we enjoyed a lovely hot chocolate and a nice slow ride home in the coach.
