So the fun starts here - meet Spuff the Magic
Dragon (apparently you had to be there)
The deluxe accommodation experienced by some
attendees - the second bed is hidden underneath the bags and sporting
apparel. They had it good in the Palace on the Hill
Err boats on a trailer!
Re-rigging of the boats to get going - we were
excellent at it by the end of the weekend!
Spuff gets familiar with the erg machines with
one of the best views!!
Day 1 was spent familiarising ourselves with the tide
- it went out quite a long way (...past what we expected... note to
selves take better notice of the morning briefing)
The launch - by the end of the weekend we still
hadn't really mastered the dark art of putting it back on the trailer
after the outings
Thankfully this was never needed
Rowing with views like wasn't so bad
Flic in action - she followed us everywhere
despite being in the slowest launch ever
The metropolis of Totnes - where Bistro's shut
at lunchtime, you can only get cream teas and lattes (ask Dave and
Lesley), and there's a shop that sells lovely pink tops (Dave) - or is
that Coral, Dusty Rose, Faded Red .......
This photo has been included just on the basis
that its not raining
Shares in electrical tape and other sticky
stuff went up during the course of this weekend due to unprecedented
sales figures - who knows why
Sometimes it hurts when you try hard - a little
bit of Katy B was left in Totnes
Top athletes need to ensure that they are
properly hydrated .....
... and a healthy diet as ably demonstrated by
captain Jenny (spot the Pringles tube)
Packing up in record time .... is Ciara wiping
away a tear? (ok I realise that MT and Katie C weren't there on the
last day but its poetic licence)
