Wayne and Jan tossed themselves to the mercy of the river, playing in the last hole of "Quadratic Conundrum" and in the hole below "Terminal Slide". Wayne got off lightly, but Jan renewed his lapsed membership at the local swimming club.
Andy and Nick H were in for a treat. Aside from the usual great day on the river, they were much entertained by Wayne and Jan. Wayne started off with a little religious ceremony, in which he called to the great grey spider resident in the back of his boat to treat him kindly - and it seems to have worked too!
The water level was about the same as the previous trip. After much speculation it was decided to walk around Quadratic again - but Jan took the liberty of running the last hole. And then went back in to play. The second play session went out of control pretty quickly, ending in a swim (click here for the video). And Wayne only made a very half-hearted effort to get into the hole before choosing discretion as the better part of valour. Andy entertained us with a swim halfway down Andy's drop (centre zig-zag line) and we managed to get him to slow down occasionally for a play in the odd wave. Jan and Wayne (click on their names for video) ran Terminal slide again, but Andy and Nick opted to take videos and manage the rescue equipment.
Jan talked Wayne into surfing the hole at the bottom of terminal slide, using big words such as "no it's not very retentive at all" - click here to watch the video and watch for the shaking of the head. Click here to see what he had to say afterwards.
Riana capped the day with a fine picnic lunch, while Aiden entertained us with a pellet gun target shooting competition.
