Just four weeks to go before we head off and the last bits of kit have arrived. Yesterday I spent the day stuffing all the gear into dry bags and figuring out the best way to pack the kayak. It reminded me of trying to complete one of those puzzles you sometimes get in Christmas crackers – where you have a plastic frame with 14 numbers that can slide around but only one space free.

On 17th April Tanya and I popped down to Chiswick to see the 80 or so paddlers who took part in the London Kayakthon – 26.2 miles from Westminster to Chiswick and back – on the same day as the other Marathon. Great day out and a great spirit amongst all the paddlers. Will pop next years date in my diary but as a participant this time. If you want to take part yourself check out the link.
