We're just coming to the end of the fourth day of Witney to Westminster, and all is going very well. We went today from Marlow to Wraysbury; a distance of approximately 18 miles. The weather was... OK (some rain, but mostly dry and cool; the sun had been somewhat burning my fellow paddlers at the beginning of the week) and with the wind at our backs, we made great time. It took me a couple of miles to get into the swing of it but by the end we were racing along nicely. I was in a boat with JP and Margaret, and we had a lovely time of it.
We stopped off in the shadow of Windsor castle for some lunch, and our support staff did a great job of convincing random passers-by to sponsor us, raising just over £100 today, which is enormously encouraging. We then raced along for the final 8 miles, and arrived an hour ahead of schedule, and before the support crew! The rest of the gang are chilling out, and I'm about to join them for a spot of food.
Anyhow, thanks for all your support. Also, there's still time to sponsor me! Any amount will help!
In short: all is well; will update again tomorrow (WiFi permitting).
