Saturday, 21st April 2012 (the Queen’s birthday) and 10 intrepid touring / explorer types from NACC gathered at the put-in at Cricklade on the River Thames, or Isis as it is also called when it is still a very small river. By the time we had shuffled most cars to the take-out and we were ready to launch, it was 11.00 and though it was cool, the sun was shining. The weather forecast was for sun in the morning with heavy showers and the possibility of hail in the afternoon. This proved to be correct.
The easy launch site is a ford with a concrete ramp to the water which at this point is debatably a large stream rather than a river, but it was attractive and very enticing in the sun to find out what was around the next bend. There was a good flow of water and after a briefing to keep a good space between each other due to known obstructions from trees in the stream, 4 double and 1 single canoe and one kayak set out towards Lechlade.
It was great that there was so much interest in sea kayaking at this year’s AGM, so I decided to reiterate and expand on what was said. At the AGM Ralph presented a short video of some of the trips with various photos and fellow sea kayaker Richard Silsby was presented with the ‘Paddler of the Year’ award.
It was a damp misty morning as a mix of Open Canadians and kayaks met up at Bradford on Avon with a view to a gentle paddle down to Dundas and back up the canal. We followed the guide and parked at the far end of the car park. There was a nice simple bank to get in under the railway bridge and a gentle flow to carry us along.
