One by the river

This photo taken on the Thames Path in Richmond. The spot is nearby the end-point of the Oxford Cambridge boat race (ie, crew or rowing), which has taken place every year for 177 years. Today's 4.5 mile course, which was first used in 1845, stretches from Putney to Mortlake. Oxford won this year's race in 18 minutes, 32 seconds for the Blue's fourth victory in five years. Cambridge maintains the edge, however, with 78 wins to 72 (the slight discrepency the result of a boat sinkings in 1912).
