Oooops!
A deliberate capsize this time as a practice run and to see how easy it was to climb back in...
The downside of tent camping
It rained all night so now we have a tent to dry before it can be stowed away ready for our next trip. At least it's sunny now.

Lazy day
I've struck gold with this camp site. It's a lovely spot, very quiet and right on the banks of the monmouth-Brecon canal. I've also spotted a track down to it directly behind our pitch so we're staying here for the day. There's no need to go to Llangorse as planned so the canoe will be launched here instead. J has brought his canoe design books, and i have my scotland trip to plan so a day in one spot would make a welcome change from tearing around from place to place.
A lazy morning
It was a chilly night but the temperature is rapidly warming up. At this point, beneath a bland pic which my parents are likely to give only a cursory glance, i can share the reason for the lack of photos last weekend... Having parked in a remote scenic spot, i had unwanted visitors in the early hours. Without going into too many details, i ended up making a 999 call and being escorted out by the police. After that i gave up and returned home arriving at 7am to a quite spectacular rising mist over the river.
A chilly night
Having seen forecasts for a hot weekend, guess who didn't spot the overnight frost warning and was caught out. Btw, following the death of the wavebox in Milford, it was replaced despite being out of warranty.
... Sure the net
We're on a camp site this time complete with free wifi although the spot i've chosen is the most isolated and out of range so i'm limited to a whopping 8kbps - but there's no rush!
Canoe launch weekend
Following many delays we're about to launch j's ebay bargain canoe during a rare camping weekend together.

The stately home bit
The interior is a bit too stiff and formal for of so i'm going to look for the bats then wander around the village instead.
Had a warm snug night and the heatpads, both stuffed into shaun, are still hot. I don't want -
- to get up but i must because i'm at risk of being seen and losing this spot for future visits. So ... Creak ... Groan ... Time to crawl out of my bag and move to a legitimate spot.
