Gently South, unlike some

We’ve had a soggy morning’s boating from the top of Foxton to just short of Yelvertoft, finally tying by Bridge 29 at lunchtime.

Main interest was a couple of guys paddling kayaks who leapfrogged with us all morning, including following us through Husbands Bosworth Tunnel (naughty, but their craft were too heavy to portage over the top). They told Sheila that they were headed for Kent via the GU, aiming to do it in about a week.

One of the stickers on the canoes said virginmoneygiving/forceskayakers, so it looks as if it may be these two, extending their endeavours after the Devizes to Westminster race, in which case all power to their elbows.

It rained quite hard in the morning, but things look a lot brighter now. We’re gradually recovering from the excitements of Crick, and getting back into the mood for just pottering along, so I may actually get a bit more creative here in the next few days.

Well, maybe.
