Great to see some pictures to prove that its not just a scam to get away for a few beers. Any chance of putting a couple of names to the faces - I don't recognise anybody there, but I'm sure I've spoken to most of you on this board?

Looks an impressive effort in the photo’s. The Thai trainer must be a brave man, standing up in a boat like that, crewed by mad ferangs!

Let's do it this way; everybody who's ok with people getting to know them can tell where they sit. I'm the fifth person on the uppermost photo, with the claret HHAD shirt.

Can hardly see me, but I'm the 10th back in the first photo wearing a white top.

Bamboo Grove/Dawn,

Thanks for the information - I always like to put a face to the name when I'm reading - unfortunately, can't see much of Dawn stuck at the back. I hope that wasn't a dominant male thing, putting the girlies at the back.

Naah, they put me at the back so I wouldn't splash anyone too much! That photo was taken on our first jaunt of the day. Poor Terry got the honour of being soaked by me the second time! :thumb:

Pete, I wasn't even sure if anyone could tell I was a woman in the photos! :shock: :wink: [/b]

Dawn

You can tell you're a woman by the way you paddle a boat :mrgreen:

BTW - For those who don't know, I'm the fat one in front of Dawn on the first session and at that point very dry
:cheers:

Anyway Dawn you deserve 10/10 for putting up with the rest of the mottley crew

You must have a massive screen with your PC if you can see that level of detail :oops:. It took me almost a minute to see somebody at the back of the boat wearing white.

No, a 12" Fujitsu laptop and reading glasses. Wait until you move here BB, you develop a keen eye for things such as this. :wink: Pete

The 3rd is the day after my birthday. So, no night out for me this year! Sob! :cry: Can't be hungover for the big race!
Just have to make up for it on the 3rd, then, won't I? :twisted: :thumb: :cheers:
