RIver Dee canoeing
Wednesday, July 22, 2009


ONE OF A GROUP OF SOLO CANOEISTS WE MET ON THE RIVER

Yesterday Jim and I went back to the river Dee to run a longer section by canoe. We paddled up the canal from the shop/ cafe to the Chain Bridge and then carried the boat to the river and paddled back with the aid of gravity!

I am really enjoying learning something new, and I'm finding that tandem canoeing is really good fun. We spent a couple of hours dropping just a couple of miles down the river, practicing ferry gliding, reverse ferry gliding, maneuvering and breaking in and out. We also ran the most fun rapids several times, usually picking different lines each time. Our route can be seen here on the Sanoodi website.

I now feel much more ready to go on a 2 week remote canoeing trip in the far Canadian north!!

PS. To the mint tea drinker who asked where Barrington Shaw was - he's busy working - one of us has to earn a living! But he'll be out playing at the weekend!
