    Messing about on the river

    June 21 in France ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Canoe trip down the river Tarn, 13km over 4 + hours. We hit a rock in some rapids and capsised. Luckily, we didn't lose anything. Lynn had her phone attached to her life jacket which went under with her but we had helmets on which did their job as it hit Lynn's head (maybe knocked some sense into her) but all good few minutes after getting to shoreline and righting the boat. Msny more rapids but we stayed a float. Went out for a meal tonight, and the last few photos are from a viewpoint at the top of the village.Read more

    TravelerWe had helmets on. Lynn was more concerned about the phone after being fully submerged. But it's working
