Its the Medway Marathon on Sunday, current forecast is for 14mph northerly which should mean quite a lot of reaching!

I totally agree - it's been a while since I've done it now, but it is well worth the drive (from anywhere in the country). For me it was a 320 mile drive each way! |

Its just 24 hours to the South Kent Race at Wilsonian Sailing Club - not a very long race but from the Medway Towns to the mouth of the Medway and back, its not short anyway. In June the same club hosts the Wilsonian Grand Prix which is a long race weather permitting. And just a week before that many of the Wilsonian SC boats will be doing the Medway Marathon from MYC which is marathon length. So it seems the Medway is a good area for long distance races.

By a brilliant piece of mutual planning - not- the Nore and Medway Marathon races clash this year on 20th June. Two great, classic races, but the competitors in one will actually be able to see those in the other at some point... |
