We were lucky to wake up to a lovely bright morning, and the day stayed warmly autumnal for the trip. After getting kitted up, the four of us set off from our Leamington site and spent the first hour paddling to the weir at princes drive, while covering some foundation skills.
The weir was unforuantly blocked at the bottom due to building works meaning a portage and wet feet. The rest of the morning was spent heading along the Rivers Leam then Avon toWarwick where we stopped for lunch in st Nics park before paddling round the corner to have a look at to the castle.
After everyone had had enough of the veiws of the castle from the water we turned around and started the journey back to Leamington, stopping to cover new skills and building on those we had covered in the morning.
Everyone on the trip had a fun day and left with new skills, a 1* certificate, and having had a very enjoyable paddle.
