On a brilliantly sunny weekend in May, Chesterton women’s squad packed up two 8s, a 4+ and a 4-, slathered on the suncream and went for our annual away day in Ely. We were armed with rigger jiggers and we meant business. The goal: have an absolutely fantastic day on the river, with a cheeky bring and share lunch thrown in there too because we’re all pretty civilised around here.
The day started off strong with seat racing, pitting the two 8s against each other in snappy sprints over a short course, which definitely helped shake the cobwebs off! Competitive spirit took hold with spirited discussion about whether one boat might have had a small head start against the other. I couldn’t possibly comment of course.
