Don't listen to any of the others your up the tunnel without your paddle( and do you know how long that dark wet tunnel is!)

No seriously I attempted it last year but as you probably know it was called off but what they've said is true the first day is purly mental. Try to paddle the waterside series it will help.

Good Luck and hope to see you there if I can find someone to paddle with.
