Friday 20th November at 8.30pm
Kendal’s ever popular Wild Water Night is the opportunity for paddlers – of all persuasions - to get together to enjoy the best of paddle film and be inspired for new adventures of their own. This year the talk is on wilderness Canadian Canoeing and our guest speaker is John Cousins.
'There Were Three in the Boat……' - Wilderness Canadian Canoeing in Northern Ontario
John Cousins skied across Alaska's Hayes range and then sea kayaked on the Kenai peninsula in 1986 and has been seeking out remote adventures ever since. He is an International Mountain Guide and Director of Training at Plas y Brenin who rediscovered open canoeing five years ago with the birth of his daughter. Since then they have had a number of multi day journeys up and down the West coast of Scotland, circuited the Bowron Lakes in British Columbia before taking a float plane across the Temegami region of Northern Ontario earlier this year. With five year old squealing 'yeehah' on every rapid they paddled the Lady Evelyn River and linked up lakes and portages on a twelve day traverse with only blackfly and the odd rustle in the trees for company. John's talk will look over some of these formative wilderness journeys before redefining the family holiday in Temegami this year!

If anyone goes, as Chairman I will make a formal request that no one asks John Cousins if he has paddled on the Burrs, nor does he have any experience of pink guiness, killer clams or moon walking. By definition he is probably a little more than a half decent paddler and deserves respect.
