Hi, I’m Howard and I like water. If there’s a river, lake or sea nearby, I want to be in it.
Over the last few years I’ve been learning more about my local river, the Great Ouse, and the places and people who also live by it. It’s encouraged me to take part by helping set up the Great Ouse Rivers Trust. I’ve still much more to learn and if you can help me, please get in touch
