Nine DCC members joined paddlers from Carlisle and Copland clubs for the entry level div 4 slalom at the Sands rapids in Carlisle. The 10th member of the team had an injury and was not able to sit in a boat, he was able to stand and swim as seen in the photos.There were a couple of capsizes but all competitors completed runs with the young club members leading the way to the medals. We all had time to play on the rapids and practice the gates with some trying SUP and C2 slalom - both craft now being well washed top and bottom!! Many thanks to Carlisle CC for all the hard work and time spent setting up the gates and organising a great day out for us.
