Build, build, build your boat

You may remember a recent post on our efforts to build and race a raft to raise money for WaterAid.

On Monday night the build began in earnest. And the rain. 

   

It may not look very sea-worthy yet but let’s hope by the time the guys are finished tonight we’ll be able to float merrily down the river tomorrow.

Stephen’s even gone DIY on our oars, with these inspired bits of recycling! -

The ‘Wacky Rafters’ Race starts at 6.15pm tomorrow, starting line is on the Thames, by the Reading Rowing Club. Please come cheer us on or give us a donation for WaterAid, if you can.

Check our more photos of the build - and we’ll update with a snap of the finished raft - on our Facebook Page

Thanks!
