work on Friday night was followed by a trip from
Knott End slip way up to Shard Bridge and back on
the Saturday morning, trying to make the best of
the only break in the weather for 2 weeks.
With seaquest coming up in September and a lot to
do before then i took the oportunity to paddle the
Estuary as i had a free morning. The Weather
was good but however after a few beers the night
before i had a slow start and so missed the tide.
This meant a slog for the last couple of miles upto
the shard bridge. Even with this i still managed
my best time of 2hours 38 min for the return trip.
