Space Invaders


What is it about the River Mole that invasive species find so appealing? Emerald green rose-parakeets raucously chattering on Surrey's Oak trees are now commonplace.



Yesterday we saw another invader up close when a solitary mammal swam right across our path before jumping onto the bank and peering back at us. A stoat? An otter? Think Mink actually.

Looks like you had a good time. The club introduction to Flat water, sorry I mean white water went well. Did the section below Llyn Briane on Sat afternoon which turned into a swim fest but was still a nice boulder garden. In true CAP style though most people were suffering from sleep depravation by Sunday with less than 8 hours of sleep for the the whole of Friday and Saturday night and so opted for a more sedate paddle than the previous afternoon which turned into a bit of a slog.
