Soggy Hamsters

The CHC boys took to the water over the weekend in their kayaks & convinced a couple of workmates to join them. We went to an outdoor activity centre just outside worcester called Top Barn Farm. They have a man made lake which was ideal to get use to the new toys & have a bit of a laugh.
As ever, it turned into a game to see who would capsize first. We all did ok and Pete, being the youngest, got most of the attention but managed to hold his own. After an hour or so messing around, we decided to test the water temperature. I got to say that the first time i went in, I really wondered why I was there. Once we had capsized once, there was no stopping us. As ever, Chris was being macho by wearing shorts, it's a good job that his got more hair on his legs than my cocker spaniel!!!!
I'm sure that the odd photo will appear soon & it will probably be when i tipped over & smacked my head in the shallow water...did i get any sympathy, i dont think so.
Next saturday, we plan to hit the river severn so that will be interesting. Stay tuned to see if we survive.
