Summer Eights - a trip down memory lane

It really doesn't seam like 16 years since I had the greatest, and possibly only sporting achievement of my life - Blades in Summer Eights - and on top of that we got the scalps of four II eights as Univ III. Looking back I was lucky to be at Univ during a golden period of rowing for the College - looking at the bumps charts, there have only been a few other crews to get Blades since.
So 16 years on I decided to spend a Friday out of London - it was a very pleasant break from the office and the built up nature of the city. Even if initially the weather was more suitable for the ducks! Not as much precipitation as during the London marathon ... and the sun did show up late in the afternoon.
