Cimon Albertsen will participate in his 27th consecutive Avon Descent this weekend with son Byron.

Operating in a double craft, the duo will be part of a big South West contingent which will tackle the arduous, two day 134km event.

“It’s a big community event,” Albertson said.

“And for us it’s also very much about family. I’m doing it this year with my son and my daughter is also doing it as an individual.
