Be brave canoe!
Recently Grandmother Gean Hodson, from Linlithgow, decided to go white water rafting on her ninetieth birthday. After her adventure on the River Tay she had she said, “Great fun.” This pleasure loving grandmother has shown that it is never too late to take up the sport of canoeing.
If you are considering buying a canoe or kayak the place to go is Brookbank Canoes and Kayaks. They can help you if you are thinking of following Mrs Hodson down the river in your own canoe. Currently they have 15% off white water kayaks so whatever age you are there is no reason you can’t follow this intrepid grandmother.
