New Mixed Record for DW

The record for the Mixed K2 on the non-stop 125 mile Devizes to Westminster canoe race has been broken by NKC pair, Harriet Farish & Paul Enoch. Their time of 17 hours 30 minutes 31 seconds beats the previous record set in 1994 by nearly 5 minutes.

Not only that, but Paul and Harriet finished in 2nd place overall and first Civilian crew, a really outstanding result for a Mixed pair. As far as I can tell from the race records this is the highest position ever for a Mixed crew.

Paul and Harriet also break our own "club record" in the placings for Senior K2, previously held jointly by Brian Newbutt/Dave Hewlings in 1994 and Dave Phillips/Kath Nadal in 1981. These 2 crews both finished in 6th place.

So in a year that saw a quarter of the Senior K2 retire including our own crew of Craig Duff & Mark Burton, this is great result - well done Paul & Harriet
