Thirteen CKCers had an excellent long weekend on the 14/15/16/17 July at Dartmouth.
The trip was significantly helped by members of the Dartmouth canoe club, (more properly the Yacht club as they are a section of that). So we were able to paddle from their base. We were all camping, most of us at a […]

Summer’s here. It’s a brilliant bright sunny day and the kayaks are out on the Thames. Six boats departed Kew on the ebbing tide. A short stop in Battersea and Fiona joined the gang, then off again.
