Better Days

Our kind of day. We used to canoe down River Fowey, both ways. Wildlife along river was fabulous, but somehow we always got the tides wrong, and ended up dragging canoe across the odd sandbank. But it all added to a great day out. The dogs came too of course, and we would pop overboard every now and then for a swim. Great times.....😁

Edit, crikey, glad I read this one back and edited. I had us “pooping” overboard, not “popping!😂

😂 I recall getting very badly sunburnt first time, reflection off water I think. Loved it though, we used to stop off and picnic in some lovely spots only accessible from river. We bought our own Canoe a few years ago, with idea of leaving it down in Cornwall in our van down there, but my caring duties interfered, and we ended up buying MH. Trying to get a 17ft very heavy canoe up onto roof just wasn’t feasible. We used it a few times on local rivers, but we sold it on last year, as it just wasn’t getting used enough. Jeep was too high for us to lift it as well. Great fun though, even if Captain Bligh upfront didn’t think I was paddling fast enough. We had a dog abandoned ship under bridge in Lostwithiel that took some retrieving I do recall. Sandwiches were a tad soggy that day🤣

Camp site in Cheshire about 30 mins drive from home.  Who needs to go abroad anyway?  Unfortunately this was about 4 years ago.  On same site now and watching the rain run down the windscreen (outside, not in).
