Friday night paddling

It makes me a little sad that as we live/work at an outdoor centre some people don't play out.
It makes me lots sad that some people who don't play out, want to. They don't yet have the skills, confidence or desire to go by themselves and are left out of plans or forgotten about because they're a bit on the edge of the community.

Now it's a bit lighter (and we'll pretend it's warmer!) it was an absolute joy for me to re-start Friday Night Paddling. Because adventures are for everyone.
