​The regatta rowing course with the officials stand and the spectator stands on the left.  The length of this straight stretch of river is clearly obvious when you see the church tower in both pictures and where the second picture was taken was still not at the end of the course which is 1 mile and 550 yards (2112 metres) long.  Although there aren’t any showing in either of these pictures the course was busy with rowing shells practicing for the regatta which ends on the first weekend in July.  I had a bit of excitement as I paddled along the course.  One of the 2 person rowing shells collided with my canoe as they were pratising on the course.  It was understandable because they are facing backwards as they row and I was facing forwards as I paddled.  Fortunately I noticed out of the corner of my eye their bow close to the back of my canoe so I was able to shout a warning with enough time for the two rowers to be able to get their oars out of the way.  In doing so they swung in towards the canoe and gave a glancing blow to the front of the canoe.
