A dragon boat enters the greatest paddling challenge of them all - the notoriously dangerous river called The Blymm. Usually paddled by 18 people with a drummer up the front, to keep everybody hitting the water at the same time and a sweep who steers the craft past obstacles, the intrepid team of mostly older people plus one teenager who is someone's grandchild take on the challenge against what appears to be a team of champions. How do they go? How do they get back again? Yes, there's a sequel called Back From The Blymm. For over 2000 years, originating in China, they have been a major sport between villages, towns, provinces and even countries in competitions the world over. Do you know the animals of the Chinese calendar? read the poems carefully to see if they are all there.Plus, for no extra outlay, enjoy the rest of my poems
