Or should it be collander 1?
I paddled from Longridge to Runymede today. I was the slowest boat, my portages were particularly bad due to the amount of water I was taking in but she was fine when she was moving
I did fall asleep in the bath when I got home but not before I'd eaten a packet of Wotsits in the bath!
I'll try and resist the temptation to reach for the ibuprofen!

WCC-LCC
Sunday was the hardest I've ever done this stretch of the Thames
I wasn't happy with the chop at Henley Straight, we lost time there while I had a wobble! As Richard calls it,"The Henley Incident!".
I hit Hambledon as usual, heading for the point of the island but we were pushed right over further than I've ever been pushed here
I only found out today that the main weir at Hurley has all the gates closed as they're doing work on it so the water was all going through the gates by the portage. The back of the boat slid out in the flow, Pro-Vs don't do corners!
Some of the headwinds were fierce
I didn't tell Richard that this was the toughest I've ever done this paddle until we were at Longridge.
I was very happy with our time.

GPS
After last weeks training session I was asked if I could supply my support teams GPS co-ords. Let me know if it doesn't work on anything else and I'll try and do a
tomtom version
