Queue to canoe


Here's something I've never seen before - a queue of would-be canoeists waiting to use the canoe launch point in the centre of Ross on Wye. The queue is there for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's a warm, sunny holiday Sunday and the river is at a benign level. Secondly, a commercial canoe company must have more customers than usual (Covid19 being responsible for fewer having jetted off elsewhere). These canoeists will have parked downstream and the company will have brought them and a supply of canoes to this point. From here the canoes will be paddled back to where the cars are. Gentle exercise on a hot day.
