Advie bridge

Sat here for an annoyingly, unnessaerily long time this morning. But it was good to have chance to gather my thoughts I guess. 
A long long day. 
On one hand, a complete joy to be on a classic river journey with friends and collegues I haven't seen for this whole mixed up time. And to see them have much needed fun together.
On the other hand. A day of hearing and absorbing a huge amount of people's hurt. Of being uncomfortable operating in grey areas of rules/guidelines. A day of giving a person who I've only met via challenging phone calls a second chance at first impressions. 

I'll be honest, I hit overwhelmed by the end of the day. Sort of glad the chosen camp spot was so rubbish I could justify half an hour of peaceful solo paddling downstream to a space of my own.
