Racing on the Little Ouse River at Thetford
Some kind of race is taking place here on a bank holiday weekend in May 1987; there are kayakers by the bank but the action is provided by four women furiously paddling an inflatable upstream. Theirs appears to be the only craft involved - perhaps they were bringing up the rear or way out in front, who would remember now? In any case it looks like hard work but at least there is a sizeable crowd to give encouragement.
