Wow, who are these guys! not so sure that you could call this a raft, but I love the idea of two city gents doing the Times crossword, as they try to make their way down stream from the Ham Bridge, to Knightsford Bridge. I have the feeling that they got very wet! I'd love to know what the young boy was thinking as he passed by! possibly "Are they mad!", "Perhaps they're filming a new part for Patrick McGoohan, in the Prisoner" or "Please Dad, you said you wouldn't show me up!"

The great thing, is that everyone got involved and there were lots of fun times for them all to remember.
