Gentle Paddling in Scotland.

... Thanks - I'll base my advice on my own experience. It doesn't take a level IV or V coach to grade the river. This was the problem. Your assessment of the river is incorrect. As a result your advice was dangerously flawed. When two experienced coaches point this out you decide to stick with your own counsel. Sorry Mike, but I can't see the sense in that. Why not check your facts by asking a senior coach that you trust. I am sure you cannot behave like this when leading your scouts. We've dealt with that. In any event, I would expect anyone paddling an unknown river, especially one where specific advice has been given with regard to an area to avoid, to treat it with appropriate respect. Hardly "lulling anone into a false sense of security" you'll agree. Not likely as your presumption implies a greater knowledge than was reasonable. Now you are saying "treat with appropriate respect" but there was no hint of that in your original response which is where both Jim and I started off. |

Who are these "experienced coaches" and why is their opinion of any more validity than mine? |
