Canoeing in Aviemore

On the 16th of May we drove to Aviemore for canoeing on the river. After some training to control the canoes we gingerly stepped in and tried paddling upstream.  We paddled around the pillar of a bridge then against the current until we found an eddy. Lois talked about how they form. Some tried new seat positions in the canoes before we headed further upstream, then drifted back down. Nobody capsized (or as some say "Tipsized") so we were quite dry when the group reloaded the canoes.
