More paddling 🛶 🛶 🛶 🛶 🛶 🛶

Fantastic paddling on Pontsticill Reservoir - some strategy discussion going on here before hitting the water

Some shots of the Dolygaer rest point - Challengers enjoying some hot drinks and food - mainly before tackling the paddling in this case. Bearing in mind their morning exertions they all look pretty good on it.👏

Just a bit more uphill before the rest break. Great effort everyone😀

Charity Challengers are now spread far and wide across the course - scaling up hills and dale, and paddling hard. They are battling some challenging weather conditions 🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️ and a bit of a breeze🌬️ but spirits are high. Keep it up everyone

On the tracking - where everyone was at 12noon......in the rain😯 🌧️

Some more great breakfast shots - thanks to our breakfast volunteers who had a 4.30am start! #samworthbrothers #SBCC2022
