Leon's First Tripon the Humber

Leon, a very keen and enthusiastic chap, came to the club a few months ago with one wish, to paddle the River Humber. With his brilliant attitude and a bit of training I now felt he was capable of the trip. I was chuffed to bits to be the one to guide him across then around Reeds Island, then finally back to the bridge using the tides. We even had to stop and have a pint at the the South Ferriby pub just to wait for the optimum moment to carry on our journey.
