The beginning of something magical

Ok so this is my first blog to document my move from waterphobic to Kayak queen. I have never been overly water confident due to lack of support and practically blindness as a child but in recent months I have helped myself regain water confidence by swimming.

And now that that has improved I have decided to take up kayaking. And not just by joining my University Club (which I also plan to do) but by actually buying my own kayak.

I have kayaked before, but took the notion this summer when working in a hotel that over looked the river meaning I could watch longingly at the kayakers and canoeists in the evenings.

And so, together with my parents and my best friend, we are setting off tomorrow to find a kayak to buy. Wish me luck!
