Good on him, but I can't imagine a more awkard shape to row, he will be going round in circles most of the time /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Would love to know where he is - have been unable to find any progress blogs.

If he has been held up then I wonder what odds we can get for him to beat the eights this weekend?

My mate Tom from the local rag spoke with him today. He expects to come through Staines late Monday morning. I am "working from home" so considering giving him an escort /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Apparently the chap is slightly eccentric and last did a 100 mile walk on which he fed himself solely on dogfood.

Brandon, It's just occurred to me that a Freeman 24 moored overnight last week, North side almost opposite us, next to the intake below Penton. Wasn't you was it?

I'm watching out for the dog bowl.

Quite a nice chap. Here are a few photos of the Mutty Bark plus support boat.

They are meeting Tom from the local rag and having lunch at one of your favourite Staines moorings, Tone!

Went past at 2:30. Mad as a box of frogs and the support team (chap in a canoe) looked completely wiped out. I reckon he had too many beers lunchtime and was regretting it when he had to paddle back upstream so I could chuck some coppers into his boat! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Crap photo off my phone. In fact, not sure I should have bothered you with it!!
