Job Done
Three weary paddlers passed under Tower Bridge at 12.30 pm today to be greeted by a surprisingly large and enthusiastic welcoming committee. 4 foot waves under Tower Bridge gave us some fears that the finish could have been more dramatic than planned but all was well. The paddle up through central London was all we could have hoped for. What a fabulous opportunity to view London from such a vantage point. The boats are on the trailer and a suitable quantity of beer is inside the paddlers. We are now making our way home by more conventioal means. We have some wonderful pictures to share and will endeavour to add them over the coming days.
