I hope this year will be great as last year.
BTW I went to MITAKE (one of the holy grounds for kayakers in Japan, located in westside of Tokyo,really country side) for going downstream with four of my club mates.
<DAY1>
We left our uni for Mitake on friday night at around 8pm.Well, I carried the boat(Duckyboat,TomCat).:( My backpack got really fat,became around 30kg.haha
We took 3 trains to get there. The smell and the atomosphere there are always diffrent from where I live in a different part of Tokyo.(I go there at least twice a month.)
Then we pitched our tent and pumped up our boats as soon as we got there. I hate pumping up boats coz I get really tired.
After that we had a small meeting and prepared for sleeping. But it was too cold for me to sleep Though I wore 3 t-shirts, a frieze and a down jacket because the tempreture was like minus 5. I reckon I need a new sleeping bag.
