British Rowing Tour 2010

agroves — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:11:46 +0000

Each year British Rowing tours are arranged both here in the UK and internationally. This is a great way to see the world - by human power, and meet fellow rowers!

This year's tour will be on the River Trent, from Nottingham to Lincoln 2-5th September 2010.

The Trent is the third largest river in England after the Thames and the Severn. It is unusual amongst English rivers in that it flows north (for the second half of its route), and is also unusual in exhibiting a tidal bore, the "Trent Aegir".
