Well, the snow has come already, but it does thankfully look to be staying in the north of the country. It has however meant that the temperatures have dropped quite significantly though. We're certainly going to be close to freezing throughout the night section.
Clothing and provisions have now been pulled together and the support teams briefed on their roles throughout the day and evening.
Our plan now, is to head off from Devizes at about 11-45 on Saturday morning, which on our calculations will get us to Teddington for approx 7-30am on Sunday to catch the tide down to Westminster. The river conditions are looking good and are down off red boards in most places, just Sonning through as far as Marlow still looking pretty high.
We are planning on 3 decent stops for food through the event, at Theale, Windsor and Teddington, and we certainly have contingency for a couple more stops as we need them through the night. As long as we are getting to Teddington by about 8-30 we will be good.
Nothing else to be done on the physical side of things now, just the mental preparations and getting all the right gear together before we set off.
It's going to be fun!
Where are we?
