Wet and Windy - UPDATED

Q : What do you call 22 women on a lake in the middle of nowhere with 20mph winds and hail storms?

A : WEHORR selection and training camp.

The weather was not playing ball, it was wet, windy and bl**dy cold, but the majority of the women's squad wandered down to Wimbleball Lake, set in the hills of Exmoor for some extra video and training sessions to ready themselves for 8's head training.


The Lake

The Ladies (+ the all important coxes!)

Despite the weather that was more suited to sailing rather than rowing, it was still a successful camp, and a change of water and scenery was certainly a welcome change from ploughing up and down the docks - would be a great setting for some summer training!

There is even a rowing club based there!


Suggestions of the day - Take the small trailer, there are some tight corners to get round!!


But before they really get stuck into the training plan, there is one last social on the Calender...

The Head of the Avon Gorge after show party

Time - 8pm
Place - The Roo bar, and then off dancing to a place still yet to be decided, but if I were a betting man, I would say La Rocca would be the choice of champions!

"Saturday is Paparazzi at K2, all your favourite party anthems in chic suroundings with a dressed up and up for it crowd."
i.e. Sticky floors, strong lager and a fight while listening to YMCA.

Sticky floors, strong lager and a fight? K2 it is then.
