I don't want to be mocked by Spliff Dog so I will make more effort to come this year.
Lots of for you and your parents! |

Hehe my Spliff Dog photo making it's appearance
I'll be there. Will see which dates everyone votes for, I'm pretty easy apart from my wedding most likely in June. ____________________ Yamaha RXS 100 > Honda CD 250 > Honda Hornet 600 > Honda CBR 600RR > Yamaha RXS 100 > Kawasaki ZX6R J2 > Yamaha FZ1 |

What is beer floating?
Will I need my rubber Dingy? *edit - now that I'm home, I can see the picture, which just about answers my question
Does it mean sitting in my dingy drinking beer?
I should bring my life jacket.

I'm in. Either of the last two dates suit me, but voted 31st - 3rd to suit pay day.
Can we use a hose out of interest? That hill we were on last year would make for an amazing water slide with enough tarpaulin and washing up liquid.

Re: your beer float.
I do a fair bit of canoeing these days.
10 miles on green water in a purpose designed tandem canoe while both knowing how to paddle it and being sober is a reasonable distance for a leisurely day trip.
To give you an idea, my most recent trip on grade I moving water, on a reasonably quick flowing navigation with three competant paddlers, leisurely but efficiently paddling with the water flow covered 4 miles in about 3.5 hours (admittedly with one short portage round a weir).
10 miles in inflatables + alcohol? I honestly can't see it being done in a day.
Have you checked the route? The Towy has some bits I wouldn't take a fully rigged canoe on, never mind a lie-lo.
The following link may be useful, breaks sdown the river into sections with features and graded sections. Anything over grade I in a cheap inflatable with no experience is highly risky.

Good to have an experienced voice. Ok maybe 10 miles is a bit far... will trim it down a bit. The section of the Towy that I intend to use is very chilled out - it's wide and deep. The upper stretches are the dangerous areas, keeping away from them. ____________________ Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. |
