Great trip today, all 12 miles of it! Slightly tired now but good to put a few faces to a few names

12 miles was nothing compared to the distance you guys came to be with us yesterday. I only wish I'd had more time for a chat while we were on the water. But thanks for joining us, there were some amount of canoes there, could you believe it?

Great blog, good old trip as well. Bit of a spin but a nice river all the same.

Big Al,

Another paddler from Tullamore standing up to be counted. As John said this was a trip definitely worth making. Brilliant to see so many paddlers out together. Hopefully we will make it up for a few trips this year.
