No parking on Blackheath today so an alternative venue was needed. The easterly wind directions are good for the site at the north end of the Olympic Park just to the west of the Velodrome on the west bank of the river.

Plantains and other flowering plants had been left uncut in the sparse grass so launching was sometimes snagged but we mostly survived…

A reasonably steady breeze so mid vents and race rods were good today.

An early finish was required in order to get back into central Hackney ahead of Carnival road closures.
