Walton Small Boats Head: December 10th
Walton Head in the depths of winter can prove challenging with blizzards, rain, balmy sunshine or a last minute move to Dorney lake all possibilities. This year promised torrential downpours and thankfully failed to deliver instead providing a muggy stygian gloom with flat water and little stream. The club had boats racing in all 3 divisions with some success.
Steve Aldridge commented that "Everyone performed very well, and lots valuable data obtained for the JW group. The performance of the day was from Charlie Brad coming 3rd out of 39 in the WJ15 single. Encouragingly, there is not a great difference in speed within the squad which bodes well when we start racing in a quad."
Thanks to The Captain and Steve for managing boats and loading and The Cheethams for towing.
