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.
