After the success we had the previous year covering the events of the day between us, Andy asked me to help him shoot the Bed Race again in 2018.
Another great day was had, and the weather had been very kind in the days prior - warm and sunny - meaning that the river was lower than normal which, apparently (though it didn't look it from where I was shooting!), made the river crossing easier than some years.
Again we shared the duties of shooting the beds and parade, and then split up for the race itself - Andy went to cover the runners racing through the town, whilst I shot the start and the river crossing.
