BoatVillage?

What's going on at BV? We're pretty used to the garden being covered in bikes in various states of disrepair, but this week we've got a change of scene. The German kayak squad have set up home here while they prepare for the world champs in June.

You might think that boats would be more reliable than bikes, given they have no moving parts at all. It turns out however that paddlers are even worse at avoiding rocks than bikers are, and punctured boats ruin a paddle worse than a punctured tube...
