Out on the jetty on the lake about the Lipno Dam just up from the slalom course and only a short walk from where we are staying.
Up at the release of the dam water for the kayak slalom races
Last weekend Ciaran, Mike and I headed north to The Czech Republic to paddle in the Czech Nationals on a natural river downstream from the Lipno dam that releases water for only one weekend a year for this race. Training on the river was only for two hours on Friday afternoon with a race on Saturday and Sunday. Mikes mate Vavra and his neat family arranged for us mint accommodation including breakfast and dinner at the restuarant with the Czechs was really fantastic. Great food, drink and people. Also managed two runs down the river on a raft followed by a visit to the sweet shop. A great weekend. Thanks Vavra, your family and Czech friends.
