When we got to Llanion Cove on Wednesday it was cold and rainy I thought that would be the weather for the whole trip(that would be a spoiler), luckily it wasn’t it turned out to be a lovely warm day with the sun shining brightly down at us.  

Then we got into our rooms, I was in a room with Thomas, Aaron and Osian. The day flew past it was like travelling at 100 MPH(Miles Per Hour) 

After a good first night sleep I was ready for the challenges ahead of me I knew it was going to be a good day today because we had Canadian canoeing in the morning. Once we had our breakfast we met our instructors and told us what to get and meet them by the wetsuits. OH NO! We had to wear wetsuits it took me like 20 minutes to put it on! I rushed down to the instructors to get an boency aid on and to wait for everyone else. After 5 minutes everyone was ready so we headed down to the canoes and lifted them on the estuary, the boat was very heavy, then we were off. The instructor told us to put our paddles up high in the air so the wind can take us, then we made our way so it was deep enough for us to have a challenge on the long plank of wood connecting the two boats together. The challenge was that we had to get across to the other side of the boat without falling into the water, I fell of every time I had a go I was terrible at balancing with the waves crashing into the boat eventually after we all had a go on walking the plank we then went about 800 meters across the estuary  to do an belly flop competition. Oscar was the first to go it was a massive splash he really did a good job but he couldn’t stop me I was just about to belly flop but a huge wave hit the boat and instead of doing a belly flop I did a back flop. I thought I was going to win but then came Mr Davies with the biggest fail you would of seen in your life the splash could shake the whole world. Then sadly we headed back but they had another challenge for us. They said who could do a full 360 turn the fastest wins. Then for the last time we paddled back =(. That was the fun time canoeing.
