Q (as he called himself) travelled down the River Avon from its source with an artist friend Alfred Parsons (known as P) who drew charming illustrations for the articles. They walked beside the first part of the river and then launched a Canadian canoe at the Avon Mill in Rugby for the remainder of their journey. They stayed at inns along the course of the river and ended up where the Avon joins the river Severn at Tewkesbury. - OurWarwickshire.org
