There was 119 hull numbers, but actually only about 80 boats, 40 or so survive, I've seen about 25 of them and brokered the sale of 11.

If we have stalled, don't wait for me. Free go to anyone.

Presumably wherever Steve Redgrave comes from, but I'd have to Google that.

I was going to guess the same Henley is the most obvious boating connection I could think of

Initially, he trained at Marlow Rowing Club as a junior, only training out of Leander later.

That's Higginson Park, Marlow just in front of Court Garden House! (We got married in there).....however, I think Mr. Zegato got the location first technically.

That's the correct answer, you're up next AstonZagato, can highly recommend the ice cream.

I guessed at Marlow as I’ve ever been in that park or seen that statue.

I think MattyD803 should have it.

OK, thanks Aston - Give this one a go:



Unlikely to last long if you've ever passed through this area...so bonus points if you can tell me where I may have had breakfast later that morning.
