Comments by Ian Jobe:"Penton Hook 1720 - 18 minutes ahead of schedule, Steve & Dunc meet up with Brian & Geoff. A huge crowd has built up to watch a pair of canoeists doing some training. The BCU National Coach Alan Williams can be seen in the fawn jumper. Mike Wells can be seen in the Blue Jumper as part of Brian and Geoff's support team. Mike narrowly missed the record (by 2 minutes) when paddling with his brother Paul Wells some years ago."
