The beginning...

No Big Grades began in November when two mild mannered shopkeepers managed to score the same day off work; we met in the Lakes to paddle anything except the Kent or the Leven.

So far so good, except that Lady Luck is a right cow, so we ended up on the Kent and Leven due to lack of water and imagination.

Interesting get in after portaging Backbarrow weir on the Leven (above)

Easy grade three, that's the life for me...
