Danny and Dave H won gold and bronze respectively in Veteran Mens K1, and Octavia and Kerstin won the Fastest Vet and SuperVet medals in the Ladies class. Eilidh was second in u12s and was also the fastest girl. Malcolm & Gary won medals in C2, but perhaps some sort of irregular Canadian award should have gone to Chris & Neil who completed most of the long course in a makeshift kayak/canoe fashion after Neil's paddle snapped in the early stages of the K2 race. |
