So we ventured out last night, just down to West Mills, for a paddle in the Condor.
Blair was right, it is a little unstable on the primary stability, but once you are paddling in it it tracks pretty well.
It's is so much faster than what we've been used to, although the steering is no way near as responsive or accurate, but we can get used to that. We did take one tumble into the water but after that things were pretty good.
Today is a day on the Thames. We've left the Rangey up at Teddington and are going to head up to Maidenhead for a 30 miler on the final section of the Thames.
This will mean that we will have completed the entire course from Devizes to Teddington prior to the race.
Hopefully a dry day in the condor awaits, but we shall see!

Big and Phil are two novice kayakers who have taken it up on themselves to do the DW in 2010. This 125 mile canoe race, takes place Easter Sat/Sun and is a non-stop race (hopefully). The top teams finish this in approx 17 hours. We're not one of those! We hope to finish, we hope to finish in a good time, but importantly we hope to have fun!
