On Friday I managed 9.5 hours on the River Forth to Grangemouth and back against the tide both ways. Hard work but good practice session for 3 weeks time. Chatted to a local near Alloa who saw porpoises nearby last week. No sign of any wildlife though this time. The hardest section will be the cross to Grangemouth about 3 km across a wide shallow bay. Fine with little tidal current and mild wind but as I discovered the other week, in winds, especially cross winds, it takes about an hour to cross. Looking forward to that section!
Sat visit to the Falkirk wheel and checked out the plan for the portages. The canalscotland event listing lists the challenge on the 23-24th. So the word is official, no backing out now.
Sunday Physiofocus support the Stirling Triathalon with post race massage, all donations were for the PSP association. We raised £250, a big thank you to all the Physios for their hard work and the athletes for the donations.
