Boat trip at Paxton House

After our guided tour of Paxton House, we went back to the van for a bite to eat before heading to the Boat House for a trip along the river.

Suitably kitted out in life jackets, we set off in our shallow Finnish craft with two other paying customers, two trainee boatmen, and our skipper. It was really interesting to hear the skipper teaching the newbies how to navigate the river.

The trip lasted about an hour. It was sunny, if not warm, and very pleasant. It was good to see Paxton House from a different perspective, and we spotted lots of different birds, too.

After the trip, we climbed back up the hill to the car park and headed home, calling at the supermarket on the way. Back to work tomorrow!Leer más
