"Winds from the SSW at 58mph, Sea State Rough" was all we needed to know; a blip in an approaching weather system meant that this lot was arriving early and a day of towing and rescue practice off Roa Island was quickly abandoned and the sea kayaks stayed at home!

A change of kit and with the river boat on the car, it was off to Greenodd to hook up with the Duddon CC lads who would be looking for a river to paddle instead. With all the rain of late, and everything except the Esk being well up, the options were plentiful. So we paddled the Esk; the middle / lower section not even the upper... maybe another day!
