10 days in Britain

Do you enjoy travel?

Would you enjoy flying to the UK with 6 to 8 of your paddling friends?

Ever wondered what goes on in an English pub?

Ever had a pint of gravity fed ale ?

Ever stayed in an English bed and breakfast?

Ever had a full English breakfast?

Wondered why fish and chips is so popular in the UK?

Have you ever wondered why the English love their tea so much?

Would you like to see Salisbury, Stonehenge, Old Sarum, Salisbury Cathedral, Swindon, Exeter, Barnstable, Braunton, Ilfracombe, Lea’s Bay, Watermouth Bay, and Morte Hoe, to name a few?

Have you ever seen hanging baskets of flowers that trail to the ground?

Would traveling by rail across England and enjoying the landscape go by be of any interest to any of you?

Would you be interested in seeing gorse flowers covering a hillside with a golden glow?

Have you ever stood on a quay and watched the water lapping against a rock wall and wished to have a kayak to paddle?

Do you enjoy stunning scenery?

Do you enjoy paddling in salt water and camping on beaches you never been to before?

Would being at the location of the second highest tides in Europe hold any interest or curiosity?

Capable of paddling 10 to 15 miles a day? Have you ever explored a water cave?

Would you be interesting in paddling with several BCU 4 Star coaches and being coached by them for 5 days?

If you are remotely interested in any of the above, I have put together a trip to Britain for 6 to 8 paddlers.

The length of the trip will be 10 days.

We will leave Raleigh Durham airport on the 16^th of June and will return on the 26^th of June.

I been to this place before and I can vouch for all of our hosts, both on and off the water. The British trains are comfortable, fast, and on time.

I’ve tried to make this trip fun for all, affordable, and memorable .For any inquiries, please contact John Flowers at captcapella@yahoo.com.I plan to set up a meeting for all interested parties as soon as I have 6 to 8 interested paddlers.

Cheers,

John Flowers

Being a photograph in an arts competition which is 95% art, I felt gratified to get an honorable mention for one of my photographs.

I shall be exhibiting at this location now, since I am now a member.

I will start hanging more images in March after this display comes down.

Come take a look. I may be there on a volunteer day in March.

Location: Holly Hill Mall, Huffman Mill Road, Burlington, NC.

They are a very nice group of artists.

Cheers !

This does look like fun.
