This week's training anecdote:
We had another swimmer at the weekend with Stu Ridd-Jones taking a quick dip whilst portaging at Islip Lock. An encouraging weekend, with a good straight 13 mile paddle behind us, you never know, we might actually be able to do this!

On day 3 paddling started early again and the team have now finished their challenge well ahead of expectations. Well done to all of you, enjoy the rest of the day. Thanks again to everyone who has donated it is really appreciated.
Day 2 complete as all 3 kayaks complete today's marathon leg. The team are tired but pleased that the day is over. Just time to get cleaned up before another night's busy fund raising. Just 18 miles left tomorrow with hopefully the wind at their backs.
First day over and all 3 kayaks finished on schedule. Angus the swan attacked but not quite as viciously as in training, so no capsizes today. Team are tired but pleased with performance. Now ready for the big one tomorrow - bring it on!
Jack and the team get some publicity in the press: http://www.northantset.co.uk/news/local/paddle-power-is-to-help-jack-1-3743330
Today is the big day and the team will be putting the kayaks in the water at around 10am where the Nene meets the Grand Union Canal in Northampton. Last night the £5,000 total was passed - thanks to everyone for that. MFAIK will be in the Evening Telegraph tonight!
