Bedford River Festival 2008





Well we have had the "River Festival" here in sunny Bedford. This is a bi-annual event and there are thousands of visitors. I thought you might like to see a few of the pics. As I explained in my last post, teams build a raft and then have to paddle it (quite a way) down the river "Great Ouse" as you can see it is a lot of fun, but very tiring, and lots of cheating goes on!!!The river is usually full of swans and geese, they were in a bit of a hurry to get well out of the way as the rafts appeared!! The weather today has been just right,sun but not too hot. I hope you enjoy a few pics. from the race, as you can see the rafts are not always paddle powered!!!
