Congratulations Malcolm - hope the knees held out!

Tim Tomlinson - 13/04/05 17:09:08
Thanks for bringing our boat back in one piece! Seriously though, a tremendous achievement and a shining example to everyone - not just in covering the distance but also in showing how to paddle it. Well done.

Jock Wishart - 13/04/05 09:20:05
