Coronation Day. We still find it quite unbelievable that Queen Elizabeth II passed away last year. This morning we were a very shocked and saddened to hear John's brother in law Loz had passed away from a cardiac arrest.
After four nights at Grandtully it was time for Marge to take to the road again. Before leaving, to relieve some of the aches and pains from yesterday's self rescue on the river, we walked down to the nearby river Tay, to watch the slalom, but the kayakers were taking a break, their kayaks strewn across the grassy bank.
In no rush, as tonight we would be staying at Kendal cricket club, where we knew a match was being played this afternoon, we stopped at Perth to look around a large outdoor shop. Now we had more of an idea about packrafting, more gear would be needed. The day was warm, our onward journey Marge ate up the miles. As we approached the border with England the rain began. Welcome back Marge.
Despite the weather we enjoyed fantastic views from the road that crossed from the motorway to Kendal. The characteristic stone wall field boundaries crisscrossed grasslands where sheep unaware of our presence grazed. John spotted several snails, brought out by the weather.
