July 1st: Canoe trip!!

So it was that our annual canoe trip at Ross-on-Wye came about. I arrived at the campsite on the friday. Heres Ruth posing in front of the site...

Here's Steve, Ruth, JB & Owen chilling at the site..


The next day we covered 11 miles before the disapointing England game. I'm pretty sure I saw Cal (pictured here in Celtic top) supporting England at one point-but he denies all!

We passed some swans..

& some cows!!!






Then stopped for food on a bank...

Soon it was time for Cal, Julie & Mark to power on down the river again...

Enjoying gorgeous views on the way...

Stu organized the event & found it difficult to stay aboard at one point mistaking some rocks for rapids - ;-). Nice one Stu - well done for a great weekend! Also pictured is Simon & Mel (In the boat!).
"Hold on - Two of you, one of me, on the river, in a canoe?!! Its PIMMS O'clock"..


At the end it was all too much for my arse as the seats were "tres" uncomfortable!

All good things come to an end, in this case at Simmonds Yat. Well done Stu for organizing it all!!
