Deliverance Trio on the Dordogne


The weather has at last warmed up and we are keen for a bit of outdoors activity. We decided to canoe from Vayrac to Montvalent, a distance of about 9kms and a fairly easy two hours plus on the Dordogne. Rachael and Ashley were in one kayak with Randall in a single. Yvonne gladly taking up the babysitting option. It was hot on the river and ooh so cool to just drift along with arms over the side. Quite an interesting venture with regular small shallow “rapids” and nice views along the river walls. Trip very well organized and quite on time for start and to pick us up the finish. Had a great yarn with some French Canadians who were also on an extended holiday in France and managed to exhaust most of my French during a long conversation in the pick up van on the way back to Vayrac.
