Yesterday I popped down to Covent Garden to catch a couple of the Team GB rowers lending their muscle to UCLU Boat Club’s 48hr Rowathon in aid of Comic Relief.

Tom Wilkinson, Will Satch and James Ourne all gave 30mins of their time to row one shift on the machines in the cold (and wearing very little, as is their wont as rowers!), while members of the Boat Club did their best to drum up cash from passersby. Jack Stonehouse, who organised the event for the Club, did a fantastic job to resurrect this event after last year’s planned event failed to materialise.

I’ll update this post when I learn how much was raised over the two days; if you want to see the rowers in action, they’re in Covent Garden until 10pm tonight!
