DW 2008 - Endeavour K2

Fern & Cathy set off from Devizes while the "cheering section" were hiding from the cold & eating breakfast in Mick's car, but it wasn't long before they were tracked down to the Kennet & Avon canal, where like a few other people, they had gone for a little paddle. The first bridge where we spotted them could have been used as a wind tunnel for aviation purposes, the wind was so strong. We managed to see them several more times during the first 18 miles.

Apart from Newbury, this was the last time we saw them as they disappeared from the radar sometime between here, which is seconds before they plunged into the Savernack Tunnel and the end of Crofton a couple of miles later. Richard was getting rapidly further ahead once the portaging started at Wooton Rivers, Harriet was in the middle and Fern & Cathy were a bit behind her, so it was hard to see all the NKC entrants at any one vantage point after this anyway.
