Devises Westminster 2008 125 mile marathon 21st - 24th March
Erika™ and Camilla reached Westminster as Big Ben struck 10. Just under 30 hours (29hrs 43 mins) in bitter sub zero winds and snow. Awesome achievement - congratulations! See press release here and Hemel Today report
The boys retired after Robin suffered a leg cramp, not experienced in training, and simply couldn't go on. It was minus 2 degrees and two swims contributed to it too. Over half the fleet retired.
Two club crews entered the non-stop K2 class (the longest non-stop canoe race in the world) there were 131 entries in this class. See Telegraph preview here and Sunday Times report here. The crews were Erika™ and Camilla in a club discovery, and John H and Robin in Slashers kirton sprint boat. Support from Chris Marshall, Shirine Voller, John Bennett, Bob Pearce, Al (UnC) Farrance, Chris Preston and Graham Crabtree, Tacha Lennon, with her chap; Carter and friend Karen Hanson as well as Claire and Katie Houston and Ross.
