' Shrewsbury to
Bridgnorth G. M. BOUMPHREY
Last week G. M. Boumphrey described the first stage of the trip he is making in a folding canoe down Severn and Thames with his friend George. Starting from Newtown, they reached Shrewsbury in spite of adventures, for there was very little water—often no more than two inches and their canoe draws four ! Then when they came to a really deep, swift place the good ship capsized, and George swam ashore with his watch in his mouth.
This week G. M. Boumphrey will describe the trip from Shrewsbury to Bridgnorth and those who remember his series of broadcast talks on the Roman roads will be interested to know that he is to visit the old Roman city of Uniconium.
