100 MILE CANOE TEST 2008
During the May Bank Holiday from Friday 23rd to Tuesday 27th Warwickshire Clubs for Young People yet again took part in the National Association of Clubs for Young People's most gruelling challenge of the year… The 100 Mile Canoe Test!! This is an event that takes place over four days and challenges young people from affiliated clubs to paddle 100 miles over four days. This year WCYP had young people take up the challenge from The Bradby Club, Coventry Boys' Club and Riverhouse School. The test took place on the beautiful River Severn starting from Welshpool in Wales and finishing up at Worcester Race Course. The Canoe Test is National event and this year attracted Young People from all over the country with a total of 130 paddlers taking part. The Warwickshire team was made up of young people ranging from 14 to 17 years old. Unfortunately the elements were not on our side this year and we were battered by wind and rain, but despite all this the Young People battled on to complete the entire 100 miles so well done to you all!!02/06/2008
