Lazy day with Sue and Paul off for a gentle paddle down the Derwent from Great Broughton Bridge to Wookie Weir. River at a medium level, Sue's first time on a river and she stayed dry throughout...walked around the first weir (but only because her legs had gone numb, plus we got out and looked at it!), looked concerned on the approach, but then smiled all the way through Church bend (the bouncy bit on the river) and, dare I say it, enjoyed the last slide and bouncey weir at the bottom of the river.
Did a little coaching with Paul who, paddling his Java, looked far more stable than in his little boat of last week!! We both had a play at Wookie weir before heading off and getting warm... though Sue and I stopped for a coffee before taking the Scotties for a stroll along St Bees beach : )
