@bluebirdk7 At one point the commentary said K3 wasn't coming out deliberately to give K7 a chance, when all that would have meant was the safety boats would already have been out and ready. Baffling.
@HatsPeriod@bluebirdk7 To be fair it wasn't often t-shirt weather. Saturday was busy with people who'd come for the weekend but most people were heading home on Sunday. Coniston Coop and Spar did well. Other shops shut too early and suspect got no extra trade as a result.
@AlanG1962@moonachris@novie03509937@bluebirdk7 The ones I saw were from the centre at Low Bank, never got as far as the middle of the lake, I watched them go down the east side. They were unaware any kind of event was on, and the run was abandoned due to weather/waves, not their presence well to the east of the course.
@moonachris@novie03509937@bluebirdk7 Absolute bollocks from the commentary. The only canoes within a mile were way over to the east shore, far beyond the safety boats. No don't there was drones too. Any excuse
@moonachris@novie03509937@bluebirdk7 First attempt was not abandoned because of a canoeist. Should never have been started, water was really rough and he quit because of that. Second attempt never started the engine. The canopy came off and on several times before they called it off to go and do photo shoot instead
@jamesbird@moonachris@andyroo1981@bluebirdk7 Bollocks. DC was a self absorbed chap who would have loved all this spectacle about him. And laughed his arse off about the lack of engineering nous on display.
