Try your hand at racing a coracle. A coracle is a one-person boat designed by druids and woven from strips of the ash tree. Full instruction is provided. Although contenders race a short distance, the way across the water is never straight forward, as coracles tend to weave and wend like water dodgems.
-This is the 7th annual Coracle Regatta at Hackney Wick, bringing contenders from across the country.
-There is plenty of opportunity for everyone to have a go.
-Prizes for winners.
For those who prefer to relax at the waterside of The White Building, there are refreshments available at the Crate pizza oven and micro-brewery.
Oi oi! Here we go! Another year and once again we're looking for the best of the best! The Top Gun of the coracle world! Is it you? Are you tough enough? Are you fast enough? Are you strong enough? There's only 1 way to find out! See you on Sunday!
Is there going to be any press to highlight the plight of the Eton Mission Rowing Club as they face Olympic-sanctioned cultural vandalism and wanton destruction?
