First outing this year, on a day that fitted the description of english weather "all four seasons in a day". Happily that included summer, since I was down to shorts and a tee-shirt in the sunshine portion.

And we even went back to do an extra reach because it was fun. Even when I got a blister in my palm from being on the wrong side.
