I'm assessing a Silver Duke of Edinburgh's Award expedition this weekend. The guys are travelling by kayak and canoe from Llangollen to near Ellesmere which is way if east in England. We were up early to get the boats packed and ready at the Trevor Basin. It's a real hive of activity, with barges and narrow boats and more than it's fair share of 'canal enthusiasts' who all came to stare at the kayaks with a mix of curiosity, wonder and disbelief!
As the group paddled, I've been leapfrogging my way downstream, checking on them during the journey. Although it feels like I've not really done anything, I've been on the go all day and actually pretty tired!

The group have just made it to camp, after crossing an aquaduct and going through a huge tunnel near Chirk!
