Hope he makes a full and swift recovery, My thoughts are with him and his family.
I watched the YouTube video of you guys at shaws bridge last week and was impressed, i have also just looked up leptospirosis and weils disease. Very very rare in canoeists but more likely after floods due to washing out rat runs, as it is carried by rats urine.
