Clifton

It was not a night for PBs. The wind was not really strong, the river was not really high despite the rain, but times seemed to be slow & the river felt like treakle. Kath & I started 30 seconds behind the 10 minute group & made very little impression on them until the embankment cross over before the Toll Bridge. We worked hard and caught a little more by the "power station" cross over where they crossed low & we crossed high. That halved the remaining distance in one go. The advantage of crossing in the deep water above the "shingle bar" was obviously quite significant in those conditions. There were only a few people down & several of them did K2. Craig & Beth W were the only juniors to turn up for Clifton although Beth C had 3 more in her group. Obviously half term holidays & revision reducing numbers there. Craig did K2 with George again doing about 40:30 with Dave & Geordie.
