Messing about on the river?

As Josh McCrae once sang in 1961:

When the weather is fine then you know it's a sign
For messing about on the river.
If you take my advice there's nothing so nice
As messing about on the river.

And over 60 years later, nothing has changed! The river is still the perfect spot to relax, refresh and recharge.

My first experiences with messing around on the river, were when my parents took me canoeing at the weekends in England. Perhaps that's where I got a taste of outdoor adventure from!

Nowadays, we all like to photograph our river experiences as we can and then share it to Instagram.

So, if you're stuck for words to accompany your river photos, these captions and quotes about rivers are sure to help you out.
