Challenger 1 Kayak first outing on the river Cherwell Oxford

Probably went a bit far for a first outing I had to get out by a weir but once I got back in I found it so difficult to position myself to keep me capsizing to the right I felt the slightest movement would have put me overboard and I knew I had to shift my weight but too frightened too I'm sure it would have been okay but being a novice I didn't dare. Lovely smooth ride most of the way. I should have done this years ago.
