I booked into Heather's B&B as it was close to the Young Mariners campsite, where my friends were camping. I did not camp myself, as I'm blind and this is not practical. I advised Heather of my disability in an e-mail and she was always positive about this, even though I would be her first blind guest. I arrived from Bristol on Friday evening and Heather took a lot of time and trouble showing me around and making sure I was fully aware of my surroundings. On Saturday I had to leave around 7:45am, to get the bus to the Isle of Dogs, where I was to compete in the Great River Race. Heather made sure I had a breakfast inside me and gave me a drink, banana's and chocolate to take with me. I got back around 11:00pm, tired, dirty and fell into my very comfortable bed. I left a round 10:00am on Sunday, having had a great weekend.

Heather was the perfect hostess, kind, friendly and helpfull. I shall certainly be recommending her B&B to anyone from Bristol racing next year and would happily go back to stay, if I compete again in 2016.
