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.
