There has been some interest in the K2 time set by Warwick Nichols and Matt Miles last Sunday.
Mick Carroll has even contacted me from Austria, to remind me that he and Jack Ward had set an even faster time some years ago, in the Double Dragon recreational craft.
The records reveal that, on the 7th November 2011, they recorded 53:02, again in the Double Dragon.
Upon further investigation, six other fast K2 times were uncovered. These may not be PBs, and there may be others, but they will give Warwick and Matt something to aim for!
I have included one K1 time, for added interest.

We may see more K2s on the River – the Club has two – just waiting to be pushed to their limits!
Happy paddling!
Nick.
