That's the canoe school- for about $45 per day we get a bed, 3 great meals a day and friendly advice. Today they let me borrow a placcy boat, paddle and spraydeck for my first run down the fun bit of the classic course. It was nice to see where to go without finding the best way by feel. It was really cold as I didn't have a paddle jacket (I do for my raceboat) and I had major defrosting pains in the fingertips afterwards. The second run (after sitting out for an hour) was much better- by this stage it was 24 degrees and very nice.
I reckon it would cost about $15 a night for a camping site, so a proper bed where they don't mind if you fire up the angle grinder and feed you and lend you gear for $45 is sensational- and it's walking distance from the finish line of the sprint course and the lovely town of Sort.
We drove downstream to do a flat session this afternoon. I'm not sure what 'suspencion de navigacion' means but it was a good place to put in and there are times when a complete absence of knowledge of the local language is a good thing...Tomorrow we're planning a trip to Andorra and a day off the water.

Well Matt, with us not starting our walk in Hendaye until the 17th June we are well and truly going to miss you. At our best estimate we won't be near Andorra until about 25th July.
