Silver Scullers

I've been trying to catch a photo of these folks all year. They go out on Monday mornings in all weathers and, when being a 'veteran' in most sports starts at age 35, it's good to see that rowing encourages more mature novices to have a shot. I must say they were going along very smoothly indeed and it was a lovely morning for it - pay back time for slogging away with icy fingers.

Great capture ;). Love the swans in the background, too!

Good on them too! A wonderful picture & what a challenging thing to do in your city of rowers & punters ! The swans in the background are an extra attraction !

@jannaellen @happypat I counted 20 swans at that spot - you have to hope they don't all start having a go at rowers!!
