Had the *best time at the @nithraid river race last Saturday!
Along the lines of a raid of the town, you race up-river with the tide (we left too late and didn't quite get the benefit, better planning required next year!), put your flag up on the bridge, steal the cow and race back.
I absolutely loved the second part of the race, managed to stick with someone faster almost all the way, first time in ages I'd raced in a group like that, very tough and very rewarding. It helped that the weather played along as well. Thanks so much Vicky and Rob for all the food and the comfy bed.
Before the race, I got to surf a tidal bore for the first time, which was also great. That, and all the river mud.
