I could hardly believe my eyes when we came upon this at a weir at Barrow-upon-Soar on 2nd April. A party of schoolchildren, holding on to each other, was walking along the top of the weir. A raft of canoes/kayaks was tied up at the bottom: presumably the group was going to make its way down the steps to them. We didn't hang around to se what happened, but while we watered up at Barrow Mill Basin I returned to take another picture.
All evidence of what had seemed a foolhardy venture had gone. I say "foolhardy", but, for all I know, this may be how one learns canoeing! At least they were wearing lifejackets.
