Still getting over COVID and as I had not been sailing or canoeing for way too long I decided to pick myself up, book a family event and get back out on the water.
So with my daughter, a friend and his son we took ourselves off to Sale Water Park for a new challenge and learned to paddle board.
This was definitely the tonic I needed and we had loads of fun falling in and eventually learning how to balance on a board.
Sue the instructor from Peak was brilliant. She is one of those amazing instructors you don’t realise is actually teaching you useful stuff because you are having so much fun doing it.
The mental health benefits of the session were amazing. I felt so energised and relaxed afterwards. I can’t wait for another session.
So I now have a new bug and my wonderful family have ordered me a paddle-board and I can’t wait for it to arrive.
Always remember look after your mental health first. Without this it’s difficult to look after or improve anything else.
