The farm at bridge 67

We forgot to take a piccie for this one. It was just a short trip and a mooring out in the middle of nowhere a few hundred metres away from a farm on the opposite bank.

There wasn't much to do on site and the weather was dry and calm so we paddled Little Green the canoe into Ellesmere, about 2.5 miles away and had lunch at Pete's Café. It was a small canteen style setup whose windows were steamed up and whose seats were full with locals. The servers were older and had the place running very efficiently. They knew what they were about and the simple food was good. We bumped into Jenny and Boy but needed to get back so Leo and Tiger Lilly weren't left for too long so we declined her kind offer of a cuppa.

It felt really relaxing to get a bit of paddling in. We hope to do more as the weather improves.Read more
