All very informative chapesses and chaps! - quite genuinely I now have a whole number of experiments to trial to avoid my next bum-sucking - thank you

Off into France during August approx. 6th - 16th. I know this is the busiest period but have limited options with other-half being a teacher. We'd love to do some canoeing or kayaking. Anyone suggest any areas we might find some relaxed stretches of water (max grade 2) that're unlikely to...

Thanks Bucephalas
