The event was held on a flooding Berg River with an early mist . The river was ideal for this section as it goes through a forest which normal presents many obstacles such as tree block and plenty of portaging. A couple of paddlers lost their way but generally the warter level was above the tree blocks. The winner Ernest Van Riet completed the 35km in 2hr and 2 min which was otside the record time of 1hr and 2min. 42 paddlers took part with the club providing free refreshments and a boerie roll afterwards.
