"Thanks. Great event again. Please pass my special thanks onto the water safety guys. They really helped me out when I was feeling uncomfortable in the water (and when I got smacked in the head by a buoy!). They did a great job." Sam
"Ah really enjoyed yesterday, thank you! I forgot how cold it is racing open water... in April... in Manchester!! 🙂 Great day though - the addition of hot drinks at the end this year and the (amazing) home-made flapjack were both fantastic!!
Thanks! See you both down the Quays! Linzi
