Today I went on my first lockdown micro adventure (which are replacing a proper adventure, which is a bit fiddly at the moment).
Put my kayak on the car and drove it on the motorway (a first for me) to the Thames in east Reading.
I paddled, ate a little picnic, saw loads of birds, and chatted to other paddlers.
It is pretty tame, but it was quite a lot for me as I am only just strong enough to lift the boat on the car. So I am feeling pretty pleased with myself.
The Thames Valley business park is a good place to paddle, free parking 1030 to 1630, and plenty of water before you meet a lock.
