Well it was another extreme weather race weekend for the Tigers!

On the 2nd and 3rd October Middleton-in-Teesdale was resurrected as a slalom venue after many years off the calendar.

A cold but dry Saturday morning dawned with some doubts as to whether the event would go ahead after the river Tees had risen rapidly on Friday after non-stop rain, resulting in some lost gates.  To quote Andy Rhu, it rose by “one meter in five seconds”!  I think you had to see it to believe it!

We set off for the ferry, was a tight squeeze but it was no problem for the family magnet, it managed to fit 5 sets of kit, 5 sets of people’s luggage and two tents with sleeping bags! The struggle was the six boats and eight kayak paddles, seven of which were shoved in-between two boats free to move around a bit. The eighth was tied on the very edge of a boat. Read more
