Went Kayaking on the river today . Timed it for high tide so the travel up river was more effort than down. Hadn’t factored on the rapid reduction in the already shallow channels so, although the paddle back was a breeze, we occasionally got grounded on sand bars. Dog walkers on the shore were repeatedly entertained with a display of two overweight middle aged women flailing around with their paddles in the middle of the river trying to unbeach themselves.

Paddled under the bridge for the first time which was a lovely way to see a favourite landmark.

Warm and sunny so the inevitable soggy bottom was quite welcome.
