A lovely sunny morning for a paddle along the River Lea, guided by Leaside Trust coach Beate, who got us kitted up with a life vest and paddle, and got us warmed up with some reactive catch the paddle games.

We boarded our canoes in twos and quickly learned how to navigate the waters of the River Lea. The weather was on our side as we explored the River and encountered wildlife as well as other vessels.

After this great social paddle we went to the Springfield Cafe for a well earned lunch.

Thanks to the Leaside Trust who treated Goodgym to this lovely canoe trip 🙌
