Yes you guess it I returned to a wet misrable UK to collect my bike. I took the opertunity to say hi to some friend who informed me with joy the the Dee was on a perfect play level knowing full well that all my kit was in france. Sulking a little I thought about it Lowri my siter has gone to Russia on expedition and left her nice new boat in my garage. Abit of retro kit later i was ready for the river with some borrowed paddles identical to mine. Perfect.
3 days off to see relatives............ No chance the rivers are up and I am off for a cold british play.

Dee on 14 what a wicked level and 20 mins from home maybe the UK isn't so bad for being a paddler.

Keep smailing and pray for the rain it's doing Britain proud so far.
