A few "motley crews" turned out including one from Solihull club. A few K1s were along for a pleasant paddle. The water lived up to its billing and could be regarded as "Big." The boats appeared up the canal and portaged on to the Trent for the leg round Barton Island, before portaging back onto the river below the weir.
Most crews managed without problems although one seemed to have difficulty with route finding, portaging down on the wrong side of the river. The Solihull crew investigated the possibilities of tree climbing from the river side of the tree and succeeded in turning the event into a triathlon.
The K1s including Tom from Solihull all negotiated the course without incident.
