An alternative humorous take on the Canoeing the Continent Expedition 2013, written by James Warner Smith and Nathan Wilkins at the time. Jokes, poems and fictional stories from their journey by canoe across Europe.
There once were two boys in a boat.
They shouted to me and I quote,
"We've travelled so far
We've done the Loire
Just 3000 more miles I hope"
They'd been paddling the whole time upstream,
An incredible sight to be seen.
Rugged and tough,
Their tans were so buff,
Nice lads, if you know what I mean!
They set up their camp on the shore
Much faster than any before
Then straight to the town
Without turning round
But at the old river they swore.
