I have been promising a few close friends I would take them canoe camping – so we set a date, made a plan, got a load of stuff together and went off to enjoy ourselves on the Yorkshire Derwent from Kirkham Abbey – with a stay and a play (and a bit of time pulling out Himalayan Balsam) – enjoying (and doing our bit to help) Howsham Mill.
We hadn’t been going long when we came across this tree – which was a good excuse to stop and snack…
Then we got to Howsham Mill – where Paul gave us a quick tour…
Then we got to set up camp, eat and play…
The next morning we slept in, made breakfast and chilled out for a bit…
Then we pulled some Himalayan Balsam – an invasive species…
Then it was lunchtime and time to pack and head home 🙂
