"It's alright for you to have adventures," I often hear, "but it's not possible for me. I'm a mum; I've got responsibilities and a job." So I was interested to ask the lovely @Yorkshirerows gang about how a bunch of "not very physical" middle aged women / mums / business owners rowed the Atlantic. The answer, as always, is that it was simple but not easy, and it came down to the choice of deciding to making it happen and the realisation that we are all capable of far more than we often imagine. 👍👍👍 #yorkshire #blog #goniceplacesdogoodthings #neverstopexploring
The river Kaveri is one of the 5 great holy rivers of India, revered by pilgrims for centuries. From its source amongst the coffee and cardamon plantations in the cool hills of the Western Ghats, the river flows 500 miles across southern India towards the hot plains of Tamil Nadu and the Bay of Bengal.
