Sculling on the River Dee

Whilst the NW wind would have been good for sailing today, I sculled to Eccleston today for the first time in ages. I was going afloat as Grosvenor's men were finishing but Royal Chester Rowing Club had three men's eights on the water. The 1st has probably got more than 80 years of experience on board. No indications of how fast they will go in next week's North of England Head as they seem to have studiously avoided racing so far as I can tell. They may have been in last week's Runcorn Head but I can't find any results on the net.

There were no women around today because the Women's Head is taking place in London today.
