Another great weekend of paddling on the Lower Yough

Life is back to normal with photography and paddling pretty much in full on mode for the rest of the summer.

I managed to get two great days of paddling in on the Lower Yough last weekend with my friends from North Carolina.

There were six of us in our group (4 open boats 2 kayakers) to start as we tended to be like magnets collecting more and more people as we paddled down the river.

The weather managed to hold out during the day for paddling on the saturday. But ... sometime during the middle of the night we had a crazy assed thunder and lightening storm. I enjoyed watching the light show but made sure I was totally on top of my air mattress.

Sunday morning was a mixed bag for weather but turned out to be a great day. I am glad the crew convinced me to bring the camera that morning as I go some amazing nature and paddling shots.

The food was amazing ... never seen so many great meals made in a dutch oven before ... definitely something I am going to look into.

Can't wait to get out paddling again ... hopefully soon on the Ottawa and if not that then Week of River in Western North Carolina beginning of July.
