What a brilliant evening we've had. Tonight was all about fun, fun, fun. We were rewarded by Danson Water Sports centre for all the hard work we've done for them. Tonight our task was a canoing session on the Danson lake. I think there was a lot of nerves on edge, but once we hit the water and gained some confidence it was nothing short of awesome.
It had been a glorious day in Bexley and that stayed true to the evening, however it was a little nippy on the water. Our first challenge was to throw a ball to each other. Yep, that may sound easy, but let me tell you, when you're in fear of falling in the freezing cold lake it turns into a serious battle of wits and skill.

It was then time to practice our paddling and turning skills and head out further onto the lake. Your confidence builds but then you have a scary wobbly moment and its all back to square one. Time goes so quickly when you're having fun and tonight it just flew by. I want to give a big hi 5 to Ben (hope i remembered your name correctly) for putting up with the Bexley Goodgym for the evening. We really appreciated it.......... See ya all next week.
