Well done to our B3C paddlers who took part in the Devizes to Westminster Challenge over the Easter weekend.
The exceptionally warm weather and low river flow were a challenge to the paddlers.
Amazing performance by all who took part in this endurance challenge:
Liz Murnaghan and Vicky Metcalfe (PAN), First Ladies C2;
Bethan Davies, first Senior Single Ladies;
Nick Hobley and Chris Davidson completed in the straight through Senior Doubles;
David Everest and
Graeme Harding completed in the 4 days Senior Singles;
The Junior Doubles camped over the weekend with Lord Wandsworth College achieving 4th fastest school team.
Commiserations to Sarah Francis and Steve McCluskey (PAN), Jonny Oliver and Jacob Polden, and Rob Ames who had to retire.
It is with great sadness that we share with you the news of a competitor who died on the final day. Our thoughts and prayers are with their family and friends.
