Henley Royal Ragatta

Well I survived my first Henley Regatta. Having never been near a rowing competition getting the chance to dress up in proper Henley attire, jump on a riverboat with 60 other antipodeans was an opportunity too good to refuse. The crew (who are a fantastic bunch of people) set out from Hammersmith to Henley from Paddington station (yep the one with the little brown bear). It was first beers early as we loaded onto the boat from the shoreline and spent the day cruising up and down the Thames adjacent to the rowing. The weather was great, at time sweltering, but mostly fine and the company was just awesome.

Afterwards we headed to the Angel, that famous Henley pub on the river to continue festivities!
