Title: What a fantastic day I had
Post by: john and helen on September 05, 2013, 08:29:43 am

 :wave: totally knackered now  :excited:

this is not about property, animals or veg...  :roflanim:

yesterday i took part in helping a mate , he has started a charity up taking people with disabilities out on kayaks,
these people can range from HM forces to police, ambulance, fire, etc etc ..

yesterday we took a lad out who i met through my work, the lad had been blown up in afghanistan...

I honestly could never of guessed how someone could have enjoyed them selfs so much on a kayak with a fishing rod....it was awesome, and just to finish it off, he came to me at the end of the day with a massive smile and said thanks so much john..i have had a superb day...wow!!!  I didn't let on to him what a bloody inspiration he has become to me..what a fantastic day  :thumbsup:

here is a little video i did, not that long, but enough to show how the lads benefit and enjoy some quality time bobbing on the water after a good safety briefing
