Its that time of year again when many dedicated parents, brothers, sisters, cousins and friends stand for hours on the river banks patiently waiting for an all too brief glimpse as the crews race past, and then only to be obscured by a tree or hedge as they continue off down the course. Brave souls present in all weathers. Then its a brisk walk back to the car for a thermos of hot chocolate…its all worth it in the end!

Thanks for watching all these years…
