After the J16 squad tackled a blowy Nottingham on Saturday, it was the turn of the Senior boys on Sunday for the next stage of the Great Britain trials process.

A few of the boys and girls j16 squad had the opportunity to race for Team Eastern at Inter-Regionals in Nottingham yesterday. As per usual it was a very windy day and a strong head wind none the less- a rowers most dreaded conditions.

Today started with a pretty tough session for all squads. The sun was red hot like Dom Pickett's newly dyed red hair. We took a majority of the boats out on the water for some cheeky practise starts. Two sets of 10x one minute bursts with 30 seconds rest left all crews climbing out of … Continue reading Day 5 by Callum McIntyre

After a very early start to training camp, we had (thankfully!) a very smooth journey to Heathrow airport. This set the tone for the day, and although we didn't want to speak too soon, we even managed to get all 55 students (and all staff!) through check-in, security, and the temptations of terminal 5 at … Continue reading We’ve arrived! Day one in Sabaudia

Well, we've made it, a whole day early!

We had planned to reach Lyon by the end of day 1, giving us a day and a half to … Continue reading Sabaudia – The Journey
