Cool! Thanks for the info, looks like I'll be buying a kayak soon

That looks like one of the smaller streams, here the main bit of river:

You can access that bit quite easily from this pub, or you can paddle all the way down from the Mill Pond in Cambridge.

Beware of punters though!

I might have to check that out! Looks beautiful!
Yeah I love the tiny tributaries. They are like a complete adventure!

And if I have any spare weekends happy to have new company!

I saw my first bumblebee yesterday, unfortunately it was the noise of it bouncing off the windscreen that got my attention. Big fella too, a loss to his community .

There were loads about on saturday felt a bit sorry for 'em I was dressed up in hat, scarf and a couple of coats. BBC Weather forecasters keeps saying its going to be warm, I'm wondering what substances they're taking.

Not that hot but a lot nicer than what we've been having.

I suffer from severe adult eczema (one of the most acute cases my consultant dermatologist has ever seen in all his years), and one of my many medications forbids it.

Last Summer I forgot, and walked down the local shop in shorts, within half an hour of getting back the bottom half of my legs that were exposed to the sun (from my knees to my socks) had turned bright red, swollen up and started to ooze.

It sucks your medication forbids sun, it actually seems to help keep my eczema at bay. I only really get dry skin in the winter, until i can get a bit of sun and then it clears right up. Still have to use the horrible thick ungentum cream all year around though.

Pretty much the worst April weather I can remember.

People in the UK make me laugh. It got to 38C here last summer and is regularly mid thirties. How would you lot cope?

After a period of adjustment, maybe a year or two, absolutely fine I imagine

I didn't think we'd get this comment so early in the thread. Read up on aclimatisation if you're not just trolling. We get 12c all summer, then 2 days of 30c+, so yeah, some people find that sudden heat too much. If it was 30+ all summer here then we would get used to it.

It's no different to all the people that come here from hot places and complain that it's freezing cold.

Warm evenings means longer outside on my motorbike.

What made me laugh was when an Indian guy came over to our office for 2 weeks in the middle of our summer when it was mid 20s. He was freezing and bought the biggest coat I've ever seen. I can't blame him though if hes used to Indian weather. I've been over there a few times and its like stepping off a plane into an oven.
