Support crew - 100 miles
Paddlers - 0 miles
The 100 mile drive from home to Devizes has taken considerably longer than hoped, but we are here. And that is despite the worst that the traffic around Oxford had to throw at us, supper en route, plus a 20 minute detour as the road to Devizes was closed. (May prove interesting tomorrow for those coming directly here.)
Alex has made sure that his boat is on the trailer (which it is), has checked that he has the right kit for the morning (which he has) and is checking the 'Bag o' Death' (which is correctly packed). Any more checking and I will be changing his middle name to Tartan!
The emergency dry bag with its contents is affectionately known as the 'Bag o' Death' in our house. This is because Alex believes (in his wonderfully cheerful way) that it could be the last thing that he ever eats or drinks should things not go according to plan for the next few days... .
Well, the alarms - plural - are set, as are we.

PS. Did anyone book good weather for us???
