HOT summers' day in Worcester, 7 March. 40 degress+
Good release from Brandvleidam, so no portages for the "light weights", and just the 1 at the weir for the "heavies".
While some of the top paddlers in WCCU were fighting it out at the front, the spotlight was on the novices and all the prizes were for K1 Novice, K2 Novice + Novice and K2 Experience + Novice categories. see attached.
Must mention winner of K1 Novice: Michael Lee Farringer, 14 years old from Paarl Canoe Club
At the finish at Alfies low level bridge it looked more like a swimming gala than a canoe race as everybody took a cool down swim in Breede!! Read more for full results
