The End

We pulled out at Wooton Rivers

No idea why we couldn't paddle off side?

The fact of the matter was we were losing time and wouldn't have done Newbury in time

The day

It's 08:09 and I'm sitting down to breakfast! Usually at this point I'd be putting the number on the boat and thinking of going, but this year I'm thinking of how to fill the time between now and check in

the night before...

This is my last night at home before I head down to Devizes

I've just finished packing my bags, I've remembered everything I was going to forget and everything else isn't important enough to worry about! It's like the night before you fly, I don't know how my passport could escape but I always check where it is!!!

My alarm is set for 05:20, my bus to London is at 06:45, hopefully I'll sleep on the bus but probably not!

Just need to get a taxi number for Pewsey and then everything is sorted

The nice people at the Bear are doing specially early breakfasts on Friday, so I can eat before tagging time

Saturday I don't need an early breakfast as I'm not tagging and we're not leaving until the afternoon aiming to be at Teddington 3 minutes before evening tide, apparently we may have to paddle a little but, hopefully not much!

It is strange for the fact that this time I won't have one of my vehicles on the course

Anyway, time to write an e-mail to the support team and then off to sleep!
