Oxford to Greenwich Rowing Tour

Two Globe senior crews recently finish a 110 mile row from Abingdon to Greenwich. Dubbed at one stage the ‘missing rigger tour’ the rowers had many challengers to overcome, but overcome them they did, and the boats were rowed home on Saturday 13th August.

Thanks goes to Racheal our support driver, who now knows the way to Abingdon like the back of her hand, Alan for his guidance and taking us through London, Louisa and Debs who joined us and a big cheer to all us rowers.

Richard F, Ken, Carol, Elise,  Len, Richard V, Murry, Jo, Sara, Seb, David ,Ali, Debs and Louisa.

A few pints and red wine at night certainly helped us through the row.
