will be held over the weekend of 20th and 21st April 2002 and
divided into set stages. On the first day the race starts on the
Forth and Clyde Canal at Port Dundas in Glasgow and covers the
24 miles to Falkirk. There are 3 portages on this section, at
Banknock, Allandale and Underwood Locks.
On the second
day, the race restarts in Falkirk on the Union Canal and covers
the 32 miles to Lochrin Basin in Edinburgh. As the Union Canal
is a contour canal, it has no locks.

day's paddle are stil to be decided.
