This is the first race of the season. It's a 6mile figures of eight course starting under the Tamar bridge and finishing at the same place. I can't remember doing this race without there being a howling gale or racing tide or more often that...
Special celebrations for Clifton. News that we secured Sport England funding reached us on 20th December 2016, what an amazing end to an amazing year....
