Some 24-hours into this adventure he commented, “Making up some good time… Just got let through the first lock of over 20 have had to carry all my equipment across every other time.
It seems that the many-many-many locks, over 47, headwinds & carrying all his gear with him, slowed Chris’ progress. From here Chris was able to launch his SUP board, into the river with barely enough water to float him and paddling over 90-kilometres per day – sleeping less than three hours a day, paddling mostly through the night. This is the adventure that kicked off Chris’ ‘Project Code Red’ expedition and it began on Thursday, 1 August with a run from the Source of the river up in the Cotswold’s, under an old ash tree, 20km from Cricklade.
This was all part of his Project Code Red Adventure all for Charity- The Lunchbox Fund.įirst ever, Thames River source-to-sea run, stand up paddle, cycle This was the cherry-on-the-cake after Chris’ 3.5-day Thames River source-to-sea adventure, which saw him run 20km, SUP 243-kilometres and bike 35km to the Thames Barrier. Yesterday afternoon Chris Bertish set a new SUP record for the crossing of the English Channel – a 38.1km stretch.
