In late June 2011 we intend holding our first ever "Roger Gould Tidal Thames Challenge" events.
We are hoping that the Carbon Fibre Replica Cornish Pilot Gig, Tiger presently on loan from WoodVale Challenge, http://www.woodvale-challenge.com will still be available to row from Richmond, Surrey to North Foreland on the Kent coast. This is only the outbound leg.
The event will then be run in reverse by separate crews. So, you can row it out of town, or back into town again! The choice is yours! Check out the website and get your application form filled in.
We intend to repeat this process each month until the end of October 2011. We intend starting the season again in May 2012 until October 2012. If you can't afford the time or money to complete the London to Paris to London events, why not try this one instead for a fraction of the time and money? Sure it's not quite the same distance, but then again, you're not rowing an Ocean either if you do London to Paris to London!
As usual, there is a non-refundable deposit. This time it is £75!
Take a look at the website for full details. There will be trophies awarded annually for the fastest team in either direction during that year.
Also, you can just row the distance to raise money for your charity of choice in no particular time at all! Just complete the course...
Get in touch soon because the clock is ticking on this one! Get your team together and get your forms in asap!!
