For those who don’t already know, Tash and Ben, along with their support crew successfully completed the Devizes -Westminster Canoe Race over the Easter Weekend. It was very hot on both Saturday and Sunday for all those involved and pretty energy sapping; Saturday night saw them on The Thames with a spectacular thunder and lightning ...storm but by lunchtime Sunday; 29 ½ hours after leaving Devizes they were at the Westminster finish line; having canoed 125 miles with 77 portages.

The details of the race are on the DWICR Site - including Tash & Ben's position in the doubles.

A big thank you to all of you who’ve been gathering sponsorship for this mammoth event.
