First "Training" Session

The River Leam near Jephson Gardens, Leamington Spa where
a very hard hat is advised whilst passing under the bridge
As the Irish Deliverance  looms ever closer it has been deemed necessary for the crew to actually attempt to get into a canoe and try our hands at bit of paddling. After a meeting a couple of weeks ago the first training session was proposed. Jonny's facebook page indicated thus ;

" Irish Deliverance 1st practice will be 6 miles down the white water of L/Spa 28/4,passing a number of pubs on route so this could take a while." 


If we canoe six mile down the mighty Leam through two tricky weirs, we'll actually be in the Avon. There again if we decide to head up river against the remorseless current then six miles will probably have us wedged in between the two banks and the bottom of the canoes scraping pebbles. But obviously the decision will be made according to the number of drinking establishments adjacent-ish to the banks. If enough pubs cannot be found then there is always the canal which can boast a fine choice of taverns which ever direction you go.
