You'd row all the way down the Thames, past East Anglia, into the Wash, and up the Cam. I don' think there are any weirs between Cambridge and the Sea, and neither of the boats have sunk for a few years. They must be ready for the North Sea by now, or what have they been practicing for? |

(That's when it's not just called "the Boat Race".) Well, Oxford is the older university |
