A PADDLING foursome from Barnstaple have completed a 230-mile trip along the River Thames in blow-up dinghies.

The self-proclaimed “crazy paddlers”, Alex McLeese, Matthew Lowry and Kristian and Ivy Maddocks, paddled from near the source of the Thames, near Cricklade, to Gravesend in ten-foot long rubber boats.
