A few photos of a trip from Cricklade to Lechlade on the Thames. This stretch of river has been paddled a number of times by PaddleOn but the river has a different character every time. On this occasion, water levels were very low necessitating some interesting maneuvers over trees blocking progress. The reed beds had grown significantly since the previous trip making the river seem even narrower and more twisty. Keith was paddling a touring kayak so long one end arrived in Lechlade almost before the other had left Cricklade! Kyle floatation tested Judy's Pack, a small open canoe, which she has kindly loaned to the club. A great day out and well worth the early start!

(Paddlers: Andrew, Dave, Keith, Kyle, Ruth)
