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.

I doubt that you will forget this trip for a long time. Good for you. What I call home-made fun.
Lifting the boat will get easier with repetition. The conversation and camaraderie must be a relief.
Repeat. Again and again. Be a regular on that piece of water.
