Hare and Hounds 2 (28 December)

While much of the country was either snowed in or iced up the second Hare and Hounds ran as normal on the river Wey in Guildford. A handicap start from outside the clubhouse, portage over Millmead lock, turn at St Katherine's Lock (where the ice was just beginning to form) and all the way back to a hot shower, coffee and a bacon butty. 10 km in all, or 9.6 km if you have a GPS and want to be pedantic.

U14's Dash-Hound & H&H's

Well done to all the U14's who raced our new Dash-Hound Race Series along with the Hare & Hounds.

We had 15 kids taking part, all doing incredibly well. (There were a couple of 'old girls' who the kids had taken along for the ride, but I reckon they need to ditch those two a.s.a.p. !)

We got really positive feed back from the other two clubs who took part & all the kids seemed to thoroughly enjoy the friendly competition !( Matt & Charlie I thought you were supposed to be mates !!)

Huge well done to Kuba Cranmer for getting the u10 race record on his first attempt ! Well done to Dan James who also did the full H&H's & still had a smile on his face when he finished !

Other U14's who got records where Joe Hayman-Joyce C1 U14 (Max J said he enjoyed getting the record for 60 seconds ! & watch out next time Joe Boy !!)

Gabi De Ferrer u10 also got the record with impressive style !

See you all next time !

First Dash-hound race:

'Kayak races are really good fun because you are racing with all your friends and just competing against yourself. When I did my race it was really good because when I got into town people were there looking and cheering and shouting nice things!'
