Anyone know somewhere to paddle that rescue stuff could be practiced?

What do you mean?
Sheep, like all wool-bearing animals, instinctively travel north, where it's colder, and they won't be so stuffy.

What do you mean by rescue skills?
- If you mean unconscious, self, X and T rescues just go outback or to CC.
- If you mean scenarios or anything on proper flow try and get out to CC with someone who can go through it with you. Evening sessions aren't ideal because you might be rushing but if its all that's on it'll do.
- If you mean heroically self rescueing then roping someone with one arm while giving first aid to a guy with the other, all while rigging a Z-Drag with your feet to unpin a boat then head to Norway next week with Simon and he'll show you how it's done.
I'm going to Castleconnell tomorrow anyway if you want to come and get a hand with anything.

I was more talking about scenarios where the T rescue X Rescue self rescue and unconscious rescue could be used. It's all very well be able to do it on flat water but I won't be paddling flatwater forever so I need to improve my skills which are currently shit. I'll leave the heroic stuff to Simon for now
