Another great long weekend in the outdoors, this time kayaking along the Saugeen River over the Canada Day long weekend (http://www.svca.on.ca/outdoor.htm). We camped at the Saugeen Bluffs Conservation Area close to Paisley in Ontario. Three days of kayaking upstream and downstream of the camp site with a total of 17 hours kayaking, and approximately 80km, over the three days. The river was spectacular with some minor rapids but lots of gentle paddling and drifting with the flow of the river.

After the hours of paddling, a blazing sun with hot temperatures and little wind, lying on the beach at Southampton made for a great end to the long weekend. A pity we then had to join the long trail of traffic heading back into the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) !
