first heat
Raft constructed by Phil Oliver & Phil Lovell
Powered by Phil Oliver, Julian Hinton, Andy Allsopp & Jim Coventry.
This year we were determined to do better than in previous years. We entered the race with 10 other rafts of all shapes & sizes, some of them looked more like boats than rafts. However, unlike previous years we actually managed to WIN!!
Here are a few of the photos taken before my digital camera went flat. Guess who forgot to take a spare set of batteries!
