Is this the end!
What a cool few weeks we have had at long last the sun has really started to shine and finally I’ve got horribly burnt! Terrific…. But how the rain has been falling, Reading had two months rain in 8 hours the Thanes came back up to proper good levels but the sun has continued to shine, as a result we have had deepest winter levels at Shepperton and Chertsey but it’s been 22 degrees.
We’ve had some great paddles in the squirt boats, some sublime long boat cursing and when the pool levels finally filled up some proper good play boating, and I haven’t done that for a serious long time! With the high levels I even managed to get away and have a break from paddling for a weekend of sea fishing on the Isle of Weight, It was really good fun! I court loads!! But after the rain comes the sun and now the river is back on the way down, but we still managed to catch Chertsey at an perfect level for squirt boating last night, Good down time really controllable and super sunny. What fun roll on summer sun!
(A quick break from paddling)
As for the Greenland boys, well they got off fine and we had a text today via satellite phone they have landed the boats should hopefully be there today and then there off into the wilderness for 4 weeks, Real wilderness no cars no roads no people just them and a whole lot of country, and plenty of big river to explorer!
