Ladies Thames Row 2016

Inspired by the Outloars mens’ row earlier in the year, a scratch crew of completely novice rowers, led by Katherine and Sarah took on the non-tidal part of the Thames.

Only having a few months to get used to rowing the boat, pressure was on to build a crew and get on the water before the winter.

The team successfully managed the journey with Katherine and Sarah being on board for the full 3 days.

Great friendships and fun was had by all and the weather was again kind to the crew.

The crew raised around an amazing £6,000 for the RiverTime Boat Trust with their skipper, Lucy being part of the team.

Many of the crew have continued to row.

In May 2016, the majority of the men from Shiplake Outloars took part in a 4 day row from Lechlade to Gravesend.

4 Days – 146 Miles

Stuart Milne rowed the whole way and other members joined in for selected days. 

The club raised over £6,000 for the Accessible Boat Club based at Bisham Abbey.

Conditions were perfect. Warm weather and a fast flow helped the crew most of the way.

Day 1: Lechalde to Abingdon
Day 2 Abingdon to Bourne End
Day 3: Bourne End to Richmond
Day 4: Richmond to Gravesend
