The Concept............A Tent on a Canoe

For our trip/adventure I wanted a Canoe and a Tent as we would be touring and trying to be as self sufficient as possible for 5-6 days.

Then I thought of a "Tent ON a Canoe" and started asking and looking and got some help and advice here.

There are a number of ideas that have fallen onto the "Cutting Room floor", but some "Mad" ones that have been improved upon and utilised in the build..... More on this and these later.

Ever wondered where "IT" is?

I found it, Shit Creek, well at least the road to it!

Looks like a nice place too.

I wonder if there are any-more out there?

As ever

 “Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You [can only get there] by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you are doing. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover will be yourself.”

Alan Alda.......yes, that one!

The route.......so far.

Our route from source to sea and starts at Sth Witham ish to Boston and is about 83 miles depending on our "put-in" point. We hope to get through the sea gates and get to the sea!

We will have to miss a military range with an exclusion zone that includes the Witham just upstream of Stapleford Yikes!!!!

Fingers crossed
