Rachel Salter Huntingdon Head was our first off-Cam race of the term, again in the four (so so much easier to put on a trailer than an eight!) - leaving early on Saturday morning, we arrived to a misty and dewy Huntingdon, with a very narrow river that seemed hidden in a dip between the sports ground and surrounding fields. It was a pretty paddle up and we made friends with a Norwich sculler while marshalling - then off we went, racing through a LOT of corners, hitting a tree at some stage and almost colliding with a double who didn’t give us the racing line as we overtook them … We ended up coming towards the finish behind another four (mixed J18s) and attempted to overtake them too - but we’d been pushing hard all race and could only sit on their tails. Racing for time only due to a lack of entries in our category, we finished 15th overall out of all the 56 small boats racing, with a time of 17.36 for the 4k upstream race. Not too bad! And we enjoyed our trip to the pub afterwards.
