Description
The Paddling Experience
We took our inspiration for this gift from that great apocryphal work on paddling – Dr Foster
Dr Foster went to Gloucester in the pouring rain
He stepped in a puddle right up to his middle
And never went back there again
If a doctor can experience extreme paddling and survive then the kind of crap paddling we’re offering will be a walk in the park by comparison.*
Suitable for: Kids
Anyone that isn’t Dr Foster
People that can’t swim
Adrenalin junkies
INSTRUCTIONS
Go outside
Pick a paddling location (see below for location specific instructions)
Paddling in the Sea
Go to a beach where the sea is easily accessible
Choose a sunny day or it’ll be crap
We recommend removing your shoes and socks/boots/slippers/kung fu shoes before stepping into the water
Splosh your feet happily through the shallow water as it rolls onto the sand
Important note
If the water reaches higher than the knee this is no longer the paddling experience – this is wading
If the water reaches higher than the waist and your feet are off the sand – this is swimming
Turn around and go back to the shallows – wading and swimming are NOT covered by this experience
Paddling anywhere else
We recommend wearing wellingtons to maximize the paddling experience
When you find a puddle you like the look of – stop, wait, bend your knees, put both feet together and JUMP! (If you can’t commit to the JUMP, go home.)
If you’re worried about drowning, take a friend who can help pull you out
If you can’t find any puddles look for paddling pools, burst water mains, garden hoses.
Congratulations – you have survived The Paddling Experience!
