It was a little disorientating today. Having been partying in the busy city of London yesterday, today (essentially, only a few hours later) I was canoeing by the considerably less busy village of Llanberis, in North Wales.
When we arrived back at The Cottage last night, the wind was howling and rain was battering the skylights. Thankfully, there was a 'window of calm' during daylight hours today. Not the mirror calm weather of recent canoe trips, but much less than last nights 80mph gales. Despite last nights concerns, we managed to have a really good trip out across the lake and up towards it's northern end.
We even managed to get a little campfire going to warm up by at lunch. The temperature never got into double figures and our fingers were feeling the cold a bit. Still, it was nice to be out enjoying the fresh air and views, huddled around the fire. It felt like the polar opposite of city life! Did yesterday really happen?!...
