Devizes to Westmister Race 2024

14 Devizes paddlers went out to tackle the Senior Doubles DW 2024!

All got underway on Saturday, however the final destination at Westminster was not to be, with the tideway being red flagged. Which meant that paddlers were not allowed onto the Tideway, and as such, the race was finished at Teddington lock.
