Our first time on the river. Firstly I would like to say two big thank you's, the first to Elvington Scouts for the loan of some Canadian canoes and secondly to Andrew who stepped in at the last minute to replace Jason who couldn't make it this time.This was the first time we had experienced a current, starting with an upriver canoe from Elvington before turning back to go downriver from near Low Catton, a total of 12 miles (we think) in about four hours including breaks. Our paddling technique seemed to work fine with no mishaps. Though we did find landing on a mudbank wasn't the easiest of things and we all braced ourselves for some sore muscles in the morning...
