Post Worlds – Horizontal Position….!

Apologies for being quieter than we should be “post Worlds”!! There’s a lot to tell, obviously.

Still a huge amount of post-event work crashing through …. I popped in to remove a few flag poles on Wednesday and DWSC told me to leave them there! Thank you to our wonderful competitors for not taking their flag home as a souvenir!!

How nice are those people at Thames Water. Despite the drought. they kept the water level high for the Worlds!! Now – two to three metres came out at roughly 1 metre per night.

Interesting. VERY dry in my home town…..

More analysis soon.

Sunday 25th January – Team GBR Training….!!

It was IOM Sunday and the big focus was on Team GBR training – we had four of the GBR guys out thrashing the reservoir in A rig slightly lumpy conditions. Terrifically impressive and they did both morning and afternoon.

The atmosphere, as ever at Datchet, was friendly and supportive – and I learned a fair amount watching the boat setup. We had two Proteus, a Britpop and a Viss. Extremely interesting.

Expecting these intense training sessions to continue from now until the Worlds are won.

Really Nice Video of NB’s New Viss…!!

For the IOM Worlds we are anxious to review all ways that we might live-stream the Event during May.

This morning NB has sent over this rather unique footage of his new Viss in action.

Have a look and see what you think !
