The new kayak village

Last weekend saw our first Saturday morning operation out of our new (temporary) home in the “kayak village”. This is a set of shipping containers and a portacabin changing room which have been set up in the BW car park while the shed is being redeveloped.

Important Note If you are a keyholder and letting yourself in and out of the carpark, PLEASE make sure that when you lock the carpark gates that you link the padlocks together - there are two padlocks, one of ours and one of British Waterways, so if we lock the chain with the two padlocks locked to each-other then EITHER of us can undo the gate.

While we were finishing off last weekend I took some photos of our new and old homes if anyone is interested.

Our new changing rooms (despite reasoned and logical protest the girls still got the big one with the boys stuffed into the tiny bit at the end)

Storage for K2s, composites, and plastic boats with most of the racing boatts temporarily stored offsite or in the gallery.

When you look at the shed now that we’ve taken out all our clutter (and the partition walls) you begin to understand how big it really is. here you can see the top shed empty of boats and racking, what used to be the changing rooms, and the main bottom boat shed.
