THESE youngsters were keen to make a splash when they took part in the Dove Canoe Race.
Scouts and Guides were among those who took part in the annual event, held on a five-mile stretch of the river, near Ashbourne.
The race – which has been organised annually since 1979 – takes place on a section of the river not normally accessible to the public and attracts participants of all ages from across Derbyshire and beyond.
Canoeists of all abilities are encouraged to enter, with a shorter course of three miles for less experienced participants. Both courses began at Mayfield.
