Well after leaving the centre I did the obvious and went on a random drive from west to east and east to west. In 3 days of driving, amazing views and random paddles I think I made in roughly 80 miles north from the centre despite driving for around 850 miles. So I truck Northward on the back roads in eastern France ending up in Switzerland for a brief time which was a bit confusing.
Anyway after a few days of trucking about I reached Disney Land Paris for 2 days which was a awesome laugh going on rides and all that sort of thing.
I then went to Lyon to see my mum in a rather posh spa hotel and spent a week in the pool, hot tub, massage pool and gym. Awesome way to relax after all the paddling.
Anyway after all the relaxation it was finally time to head back to the UK and 900 miles later I picked up a lovely new Jackson kayak all star. To my amazement Hurley was running on 3 gates another result of the bizzar summer. It would have been rude not to try my boat out as it was going and wow what a wicked afternoon on the water then the Long drive home surrounded by stressed Brits which was a bit of a shock as the chilled out attitude down in the south of France.
But hay how back in North Wales we have a server weather warning in place so fingers crossed the rivers will soon be running nicely for so winter runs and some cold paddling (DOH!)
Anyway people keep paddling and keep smiling

Good reading, sounds like a great time in France, be interested in hearing about it and Lowri's expeditions some time in Wales! (I won't add a lot apart from, "I wish they'd open the blinds in my office so I can at least look out over the business park........" lol). Andy
