“Passing flooded section of road and windscreen wipers doing double time did not bode well as we made are way to Borwick Hall for the South Lakes Hasler Marathon. Once we were completely drenched and all was set to go the rain stopped, not to return until we were on the way home 4 or 5 hours later. Gradually the number of boats arriving increased until quite a queue formed at the registration desk - over 40 paddlers from all over the north of England had arrived to test themselves against each other. It was good to see a good turn out of top paddlers for the long 21K race. Our U12 and U10 paddlers all did well in the 2k race.
We had 13 members on the water, with many first timers who joined DCC in the summer gaining valuable point in the beginners Div 9. The team results were very close with Runcorn on 176 and Duddon top with 189 (one less div 9 paddler and we would be 2nd)
Thanks go to all the participants from near and far but special thanks to the 10+ club members who's help on the day made it such a success.”
