[Sixpence]

Forward planning should make it possible for at least some to get to this

so how about a Scuttlebutt rowing team ? anyone up for it ?

 

[AlJones]

Well Tina is rowing again.

Me?


I cheer!




She started the event and is so proud to have nearly raised over £100,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a great day out for all, and there will be a farmers market on the Sunday.


Why not have an East Coast meet?

[AlJones]

Anybody know him?

 

[AlJones]

Count me in if you can find a boat.

It's years since I rowed properly and don't expect me to take it seriously but it sounds a craic. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Sixpence]

That makes two of us , just need to locate a boat and some more non serious rowers now

 

[AlJones]

Dave

is that him in the earlier post?

I think he's doing it again this year.

Duncan your on, I'm gonna try and find you and Dave a boat!

It is about 5.5 miles in tidal water's, it's not ball breaking, but it aint for the half hearted.

Can't wait to see how many of YBW'er's we get out there.

A group can always get together and sail down, stop in the Canal, (via the Lock, good fun for those that have never locked in!) and stay for the weekend! It is pretty here!

Al.

 

[Slow_boat]

It's only 5.5 miles!

Takes about 1 hour for the majority of rowers. The Kayaks are around 30/40 mins, the good rowers are in around 45/55 mins, (Tina comes in around this time!)

There are side stalls, games, face painting, two Pubs, BBQ, and on the Sunday there is a farmers market.

A great day out for all.

You coming then Duncan?

Al.
