Friday Evening

The river was full of rowers this evening. With the National Schools regatta on this weekend, there were dozens of crews out. I'm not sure which was most amusing, some of the crews lack of ability to stay out of each other's way or their coaches furiously shouting/peddling along the bank. Meanwhile, a few brave souls did Round the Bridges. Norman took some casual paddlers to Clifton & we accompanied a few juniors through the thick of the rowers! There were no collisions or even near misses apart from 2 eights nearly rowing into each other. Shob, Beth & Sarah opted for the downstream paddle as a relaxation from their week of exams.
When they got back to NKC, Beth, Shob & Ricky all wanted to do Round the Bridges & as Dave was just packing up, I timed them. All 3 managed PBs with Beth managing 2 in a row. They were not the only ones. Perhaps the added spice of a river full of wandering rowers contributed!
