Just been messaged by a guy who I gave a water safety presentation to in 2014. To even message/remember me is a lovely surprise To be told I've inspired this man to take water safety to his place of work is truly mind blowing. Don't tell me education won't work! because it does!

With autumn leaves and rain, towpaths and riverside walkways can be wet and slippery. Please find alternative routes or be prepared. 🚲 Ensure your bike and lights are in a good condition 🚴‍♀️ Drop your speed 🌊 Keep away from the water’s edge #RespectTheWater

Thinking of paddle-boarding today- and just a reminder to wear a life jacket, wetsuit & be as cautious as possible. Took a friend out into the bay last October & suddenly weather changed & wind was pushing us out. It’s easy to feel a false sense of safety on an inflatable board..

"These inflatables are only meant for the swimming pool.  They are not suitable for use at the beach because they are so vulnerable to going adrift on the tide or wind, and should be left at home.” hmcoastguard.uk/pair-blown-out…
