Chris Bell

One of the best kayakers I've paddled with, Chris has been kayaking ever since he decided swimming was boring, and aside from the occasional slip, his feet have remained dry from top to bottom of all but the most challenging rivers - but if you're a beginner, beware of his dreadful lines!

Mark Mulrain

A paddler from Strathclyde Uni Canoe Club who has been involven in making me MTFU and get on some more advanced Scottish rivers. He goes to the Tech, lives in EK, and he's ginger, but somehow he's still decent. Impressed?

Tom Jenkins

Arriving in Glasgow as a competent paddler, Tom quickly ascended the rankings to being one of the best boaters in the club.   This welsh paddler is pretty fearless, and is always one to celebrate a good hole beating (gone are the days of the bubble wrap Safety Committee).

Ben Marshall

After years of slalom to hone his river skills, Ben made the transition to rivers fairly effortlessly. Never short of technique, the only time he has difficulties on the river are when his nerves get the better of him.

Sean Fletcher

Only having kayaked for a few years, you wouldn't expect Sean to be as capable as he is: but a good roll and massive cojones have seen him paddle grade 4 and 5 rivers in Scotland, France, Italy and Austria.

Euan Richardson

Great roll, decent brace, okay music and rank chat, Euan is always up for a new river (even if it’s past what he should do).   Injuries have never stopped this boy before and are unlikely to in the future.   With a penchant for ignoring other peoples advice, the best thing you can do is set up a camera at the bottom to capture the carnage to follow.

Amy Cowell

Blonde, a veggie, and a boy at heart, Amy is always up for a new and exciting river (provided it’s not too cold!), and a little swimming at the end….usually voluntarily.

Fraser Simpson

With a passion for drinking and writing superbly entertaining poems, Fraser is pretty new to kayaking: yet due to his lack of fear or common sense, he is rapidly becoming a solid river paddler.

Ross Barnie

A background of kayaking made Ross' first river an easy ride, but this was thrown into turmoil on his first intermediate run. Fortunately patience paid off, and he is now confident paddling rivers at grade 3/4. Next it will be time to push further afield to the more solid grade 4's.

Emma Morland

One of the best beginners to take out paddling, with her patent smile and never-give-up attitude, she's going to be an expert one day. A year in France took away some of the skills she picked up previously, but as she still doesn't jump out her kayak the second it capsizes, Emma will go far.

Mark Brims

Limited kayaking this year has hampered Marks progress, however he still has a number of strengths to call upon: namely his somewhat unique skill of styling lines that don’t actually exist.

Kieran McAllistair

Starting a few weeks into the year at the Canoe Club, Kieran missed all the beginner trips at the start of the year, so after some extensive pool work, he is now being inducted at the deep end.   At the rate he's improving, he might be better than me by the time he returns from his second Alps trip.

Peter Murray

One of the hardest working members of the GUCC, Peter has come a long way in recent months, solidifying his flat-water roll, improving his brace, and finally getting down a river without swimming!   His determination is second to none; it's great to go paddling with someone that enthusiastic.

Elspeth Gordon-Smith

Pushing herself in both river and polo kayaking, Elspeth has a severe dislike of capsizing...this will either be the rise or fall of her kayaking career.
