Really nice to catch up with dear friend Jacqui, it has been too long. We headed to Whitby bright and early, arriving at 8am so we could progress up the river on the 10am HW tide. I've paddled this many times over the years but have never ventured further than the tidal, today we paddled all the way up from the harbour, to Ruswarp, portaging the weir, and then onto Sleights. About 13kms covered.. Jacqui is a very strong and technical paddler, she made advancing back up under the town bridge, against wind and tide, look so easy.. Quite novel paddling from harbour to the furthest possible on this little spate river and then back down to the sands by the shore..
