The Lents begin at 2pm Tuesday - the full division times are as follows:

Good luck to all First and Third crews in the bumps!

Women's division 2: results found!
by BJ - Tue 27th Feb 2007, 5:52pm
Sorry about the non-instant nature of today's instant results. The long explanation is that the battery in the repeater wasn't of a sufficiently high voltage, so results couldn't be radioed in to the control desk. Umpires then seemed to be unclear about who they should be giving results to, and they were having to be pieced together from multiple sources. The short explanation is that I'm sure everything will be as smooth as you like when Martin's back on the case tomorrow!
by Martin P - Tue 27th Feb 2007, 6:43pm
And I should apologise for the bumpit results not turning up until the end of the day. We forgot to test that bit... and at present I can't even remember how it is supposed to work...! D'oh. Anyway, some midnight oil tonight and it should be ok for tomorrow.

Men's division 4: Another test of yesterdays results to check again link with Bumpit.

Sorry about all the above useless messages. It's working now! :-) Interesting to note that it seems to take about about 10 seconds between sending the results SMS and the site fully updating itself.

I have some pleasure in reporting that the head wind on the reach is approx 25 to 30 mph. A few white horses down here. W3 didn\'t like it much though!

I wonder if going for a push out of Ditton Corner would be a viable race plan ...

Comedy moment of the day so far, when the bow girl of Clare 2 defended her ears from the cannon... actually on the start!

Ra Ra!

First men have bumped.
by Martin P - Thu 1st Mar 2007, 2:32pm
Wind today is gusting a bit, but not quite as strong and has changed direction - kind of blowing across the whole course rather than upstream.

Men's division 1: Imperial row over by the first men.

I wanted to say Imperious... but for some reason that wasn't understood by my predictive text!
by Martin P - Fri 2nd Mar 2007, 4:31pm
Women's division 1: Sorry for the delay. Far too busy taking pictures.
