The Million Metres
The Guinness World Record attempt
The event logo... it says "ACRC" you know!
Group picture, before the start, from the Bristol Evening Post newspaper. The calm before the storm...
"Come on Simon!"
Beth shows us how it feels to be rowing continuously for nearly three days.
Ed approaches the point of breaking into a sweat... only two minutes to go!
Steve gives it some welly. Barry points out the Hampster is getting dizzy. Beth's not so sure the Hampster will make it through the night.
Liza, Jo, Beth, Ann, Pat, Terry, Mash, Simon, Ed, Darren and Steve just after the finish.
A little more cheery, we're glad it's finished. Terry looks like he could do with a lie down. But where would a fella get a matress from at this hour of the day?
Only 999,999 metres to go!
"Which photographer?"
Shut your eyes Pat, you don't need to see where you're going. But where is Team B? Steve thinks they're in the loo and wonders if he should be too. Now, where's the dot leaves?
"Here... the Lesser Spotted Rower..."
Goodness me, that flywheel looks big! Beth shows us correct posture on the erg... even after two days!
Liza adopts Pat's tactics. Barry wonders, in the background, where Team B have got to... again!
Teams A and B relax in their lovely T-shirts. What a team, what a club, what an achievement. Many thanks Simon... we couldn't have done it without you.
If you've got to row 1,000,000 metres, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire, the A Team?
Mash needs a shave. We all need some rest. Liza, however, shall go to the ball.
