Nothing too mad, just a short 3 mile run around the local country lanes with just the pheasants for company. There was then time for a shower and breakfast before we headed off to the secret Orca Adventures workshop.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/533098625\/embed\/b76cbaef95c3bbafac8fae8a5b7c8713c090f07d\" width=\"590\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>On arrival the couple that were camping outside our cottage had tales of a sleepless due to the party going on in the main house. We knew there was a party and were aware of the fact that there were people around, but hadn&#8217;t heard anything overnight. The thick walls of the cottage must have played a role in this.<\/p>\n<h2>Gunwales<\/h2>\n<p>We made a coffee and after some instruction and tips from our instructor Steve we were soon marking up, drilling, countersinking and finally attaching the gunwales to our canoe. These not only added aesthetically to the look of the canoe but more importantly added some much needed rigidity. It was a little fiddly at first but with three of us working together we soon got the hang of it. Adding the gunwales and perfecting the bend in the wood whilst manoeuvring the clamps gave us a chance to get intimate with the 3-dimensional nature of the various &#8216;unique&#8217; curves of our individual canoe.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align:
