The route we followed is here…
72o2 Day 5 - Woolhampton to Hurley
Ready for off after too many beers the night before while watching Spain get through to the World Cup final..
You see some odd things on the river… such as….
… dancing reeds…
… well, paddling all day long can cause the mind to wander… especially when it had been exposed to too much beer the night before!
Our first view of the Thames as we left the Kennet and Avon canal at Reading…
… it came as a real shock after the flat waters of the canal, especially when the first boat passed us… ooh, eeeh!
Sonning Lock… it’s a bit skanky: I’m glad it was Nigel holding the chain.
Some of the boats we’re seeing nowadays are very nice….
Approaching Henley bridge we braced ourselves to fly down the one mile race course….
On your marks….
And we’re off…
… we went the wrong way down the course, hence we finished at the Start.
So then… just how did we do…
Oh, we’ll be in the race proper next year, I’m sure.
And finally for today…
