Future plans are a little inde- finite, but the crews will spend a month on the tideway before the Tace. They will train in home waters only for a fortnight before moving down to Radley, and then possibly to Goring and Henley be- fore reaching Putney, "I don't men to become bored want the with one place," explained Lewes.
