I GOT THERE!  For the 4 day people it was the hardest DW for a very long time.  A great deal tougher than the 4 I have done previously, and far tougher than I expected.  Very strong head winds and massive waves, at Henley the wind took my boat out into the riverbefore I got in it , but it was rescued by another crew.  On 2 occasions walking took less energy and was much safer than paddling.  My support crew were fantastic supplying me and keeping me going,  they froze and were bored waiting a long time for me. Also thankyou to Karen, Alex, Janet and Peter for free warm accommodation and food. 

I entered this event to commemorate 10 years since I underwent a year of treatment for myeloma. Also to celebrate the return  to a fitness level that allows me to attempt it in my 50th year.  It is very unusual for a Myeloma patient to be as well as I have been for so long. Myeloma is a horrible incurable illness but Myeloma UK is an excellent charity that needs all the funds it can to improve the lives of Myeloma patients and their families.
