An interesting article about adaptive rowing. The para rowing Olympics starts on Friday

Supported adaptive rowing is where an unimpaired rower forms a crew with one or more adaptive athletes, usually in a double scull.

Looks interesting. Any of our followers want to get involved and explore the local history in Runcorn

Budding archaeologists, ‘The Big Dig’ need you! On Saturday 31st August the Runcorn Locks Restoration Society are hosting an event, with our support, where you can get involved in Reconnecting Runcorn’s Unlock Runcorn project.

At the event the excavations will aim to expose some of the original canal structures where the two lines of the locks met between the railway viaduct and Percival Lane known as the “bull nose”

This event is open to everyone and is a great opportunity for you to learn more about the history of the buried canal structures archaeology as well as an update for the project’s wider plans.

Sue Sljivic completed over 130 nautical miles of the planned 150 nm Row in the 12 berth Roxy Ocean Rowing boat on the 6th August. She reports that ....conditions at the start were torrential rain, but warm with light winds and we made a good start down the Fjord from Oslo.
Unfortunately, I was unwell for the first 24hrs, which made an uncomfortable start, especially with the bucket toilet arrangement! once the sun came out and we settled into the routine of 3hrs rowing and 3hrs to eat and sleep things started to look up.
Headwinds as we reached the end of the Fjord sent us on a slightly longer (but more scenic and sheltered route) inland.
Nightfall saw us heading offshore into a gentle swell, perfect sunset and sunrise for the night shifts with a little music, the rhythm of the rowing, ghostly seagulls and brightly lit fishing boats being one of the highlights of the trip along with the friendly reception from (nearly) all the coastal sailing vessels who came close to see what we were doing!
Progress slowed against the headwind and with worsening conditions on the third day we docked in the little port of Lysekil where we went our separate ways (after a farewell beer!).
A fantastic US Solo rower Skipper Ellen and Trans Atlantic rower Glyn Sadler, kept us safe and navigated an amazing route amongst the Norwegian and Swedish islands. I was grateful for their quiet oversight of our health and welfare as well as getting sleep and eating between their various duties. It was lovely to meet new friends and just row together (the rowing part was actually the easy bit!). I slept so well in my small space under the deck.
New respect for the ocean rowers particularly when they spend days rowing into a headwind not going anywhere, I am definitely a coastal rower!
Sue would like to say thank you to everyone who contributed to her fundraising page she raised nearly £2,000 towards the new boathouse development at Runcorn Rowing Club.
