Training Begins for Devizes to Westminster Canoe Marathon

The Devizes to Westminster Canoe Marathon training programme has started this term, with a record 55 Lower Sixth students on the programme.

Training days are progressing very well. Using the Basingstoke Canal, crews are becoming accustomed to the specialised kayaks used for the Marathon and enjoying learning how to move them smoothly over the water, as well as experiencing a few cold dips and capsizes in these early sessions!
