It was cool & blustery for the Friday evening session. Several Lightning paddlers again chose Round the Bridges, while the rest went for a paddle down past TS Orion. This week, going fast was on some people's minds & after shortening the downstream bit, Laura, Tadek, Ricky & Ben chose to have a go at Round the Bridges. It was the first time for some of them.
For a Friday, the river had been unusually busy with rowers. 2 eights going fairly fast, side by side, chose the same moment to pass under Trent Bridge, that the Lightnings plus a junior were trying to negociate the turn round the bridge. The result was increased times while they waited for the eights, with the exception of Ricky, who had already managed to turn. The rowers have obviously changed their routine, as this is a fairly rare occurence for Friday's.
It was good to have so many down despite slightly less than ideal conditions.
