Bury Canoeists on the Burrs River Irwell Stretch


Just back from a week in my hometown, Bury (Lancashire), where I spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon walking up to Ramsbottom through the Burrs river valley.  Along the way, I enjoyed getting some pictures of a trio of canoeists going down the river:



Yeah, you wouldn't catch me trying to do this, and I fully take my hat off to the lads who were doing this on a surprisingly sunny Spring afternoon in Bury.

Still, it looks as if these two are soon going to encounter some swirl, doesn't it?
