Our first visit to Hurley, the famed playspot on the Thames and Mecca as far as Andrew is concerned! Arranged to meet Chas on the M25 who was going to guide us in; well, we meet, overshoot and agree to let Andrew and the map do the rest! Soon arrived and changed in a carpark with no river in sight…
We shouldered boats and a 5 minute walk brought us the bank; in, across, down a little weir and there it was – Hurley on 3 gates. Andrews face said it all; I rolled my eyes, paddled across the jet, climbed out and started filming – way too tired from the previous hell-week to contemplate throwing myself at the wave. Pity ‘cos it looked like fun and Andy certainly enjoyed himself!
After a couple of hours Chas began to tire and Andrews nose exploded so it was time for me to take my quick spin in the hole before heading back to sunny Dagenham...
"I laughed so much I bled!"
