This trip is advertised as ”training for the Vogalonga”, but some of us are now too ancient to actually consider the 32 km non-competitive rowing marathon. I cannot believe that this holiday gets better every year, as the rowing is always accompanied by parties and prosecco.

In July Henley Royal Regatta was in progress involving about 660 competing crews, many from abroad.
