Slalom Result Oct 2008

This October saw the Navy complete in the Inter-Service Canoe Slalom competition at Llandysul in West Wales. Due to heavy rain over the preceeding days conditions on the river were challenging and a strong opposition had been fielded by both the Army and the RAF.

In the individual events the women's team produced the stronger performance clinching 2nd place thanks to Lt Charlie Jones (MWS Collingwood) taking fifth in the K1(W) and the remainder of the women securing places in the top ten. Meanwhile, the men's team had to settle for a familiar 3rd place with the Navy's best placed male K1 paddler, Lt "Willow" Wielopolski (845 Sqn), was forced in to 15th place - an achievement in itself as he had only recently returned to the UK from a tour in Afghanistan.

Willow Slalom

Unfortunately, overnight weather conditions worsened and the morning began with having to negotiate fallen trees across the road between the accommodation and the salom course before discovering that the river was in full flood and that several of the slalom gates had been broken or swept away. This meant that the hotly anticipated team event was cancelled for safety reasons leaving the RAF as Inter-Service champions and the RN team unable to improve on a valiant 3rd.
Competitor numbers continue to be affected by the pace of deployments and the Royal Navy Kayak Association (RNKA) are always on the look out for paddlers of any ability or keen novices who are interested in slalom or other disciplines, further information can be found on the club website under "join us".
