Spring 2005 Thames Trips

On June 21, 2005 a group of girls from London Life organized a kayak trip on the Thames and although it was raining when we started the girls were excited to get started and by the end of the trip there were some sunny breaks. We all had a great time on the water with lots of laughs.

Another great trip on the Thames and Jerry Offerland and myself had a beautiful morning paddle from Springbank dam to Killworth bridge and we saw all the usual wildlife and something that some recent trips included was a herd of deer, I think it was six. The water was a foot or so above summer levels making it quite fast and fun through the rapids.

Richmond Street to Gibbon's Park

May 15, 2005

Steve and Scott posted to our Yahoo Kayak group that they were meeting at the Richmond Street bridge at 12:45 on Sunday so when the time came six of us showed up and had a fun paddle from the bridge to Gibbon's park which took us about 2 hours with the rapid surfing stops and the camera stops. We captured many shots, some of which are shown below. It was real nice meeting our new friends Steve and Debbie, Dave and Brenda and Scott and I am sure that we will get together again real soon.
