It all started so well...
...Charlie had arranged for just the two of us to take his kayaks to Cannington for the evening. We drove about 15mins from ours and parked at a nature reserve. Beautiful!
10 mins later, we were in the river, beside the weir and foot bridge. Just about to paddle upstream, when a couple of other paddlers, downstream of the weir asked Charlie for info about his kayaks.
Charlie, being Charlie, paddled over to answer the questions, but mis-read the flow of water and Ooops, over he went, towel, camera, clothes and all!
I finally stopped laughing and we went on our way again.
I should tell at this point that Charlie has a HUGE phobia of anything snake-like...
...We were happily paddling away, noticing the wild-life, birds, flora and fauna, when suddenly, Charlie;s stiff voice asking what the @@ing hell was THAT, just 20 feet ahead of him and swimming directly towards him!?!?
I could hardly contain myself as it looked like a huge snake, about 18 inches in diameter and was not a slow swimmer - it looked like the Loch Ness Monster!!!!
Then I remembered, just seconds ago, paddling over some bubbles that looked like air coming out of a hose and realised what the 'snake' was...
...it was a water -pipe that had sunk into the river and had an air lock, that was lifting part of it up, but it sure looked like something you definitely don't want to meet!!!
Poor Charlie - he's not gonna live this down for AGES!!! lol
See what we mean???
