Wansbeck Long-Distance Sculls 13th October 2007
 | | Another excellent day with over 80 entrants from Berwick to Tees and all points between enjoying ideal conditions. |
|
Durham University
| Since Wade Hall-Craggs took responsibility for coaching Durham University, the Dunelm students have supported the LDS series well and have produced some of the fastest sculling. Our small selection of photographs suggested that at Wansbeck this year the technique of the DUBC ladies’ quad was perhaps more reliable than that of their men’s quads. |  |

Veteran-Junior Clash
The outstanding 75%-Berwick/25%-Cambois veteran crew, who have enjoyed most of their past successes in sweep-oared boats, proved that they are also competitive in a quad scull. However just above Stakeford bridge, they clashed with a Yarm School quad, allowing the recently-formed 50%-Cambois/50%-Durham School J18 composite quad to surge ahead whilst they disentangled themselves.

|
Sorted out
 | Yarm School and the Northumberland composite veterans get back into their strides.
|
|
Tees 2x
One of the faster double sculls was this Tees RC veteran C duo.
|  |
|
Single scullers
 | Of the single scullers, Thomas of Durham University was perhaps most impressive although it must be said that much technically excellent sculling was also to be seen, especially from several of the lady athletes.
|
|
Captain's innings
The Cambois club was well represented. Captain Jon Noble here cannot be accused of not keeping his finishes well covered.
|  |
|
Steady goes
 | Cambois Veteran D sculler Ken Hastie may not be the fastest man on the water but he invariably looks composed and technically sound.
|
|
A man who can see his way ahead
Bob Yarrow, who has taken the opportunity of recent partial retirement to make a welcome return to his favourite sport, is seen here giving it some welly on his home river.
|  |
|
Nursing her boat along
 | Veteran Lady scullers are a rare breed, especially in this part of the country. Here Christine Thompson of the Cambois club enters the final third of the LDS course.
|
|
Junior sculler
In addition to veterans, Juniors are the mainstay of the Cambois club. Here is their J16 sculler Kirkwood.
|  |
|
Still going strong
 | There is something fitting about veteran scullers performing in wooden boats. Here Veteran F competitors John Bell of Tyne and Green of Tees are seen separated by a young lady, Harrison of Durham University, in a more youthful boat.
