    Pleasure Catriona, wish him/her all the best assuming they’ve not taken a dog. That would be no fun for anyone! JC

    Hey A good, if bonkers, friend of mine is currently rowing across the Atlantic Ocean to raise money to rescue dogs from the meat trade in China. Track the row with Rannochadventure. Please can you retweet to raise the profile. Thank you.🙂

    Best medal haul ever at a European Champs for . As encouraging as the results were athletes’ comments that these were a continental not global championships i.e. bigger fish to fry & appreciation of how lucky they are to compete/travelwhen the UK is in lockdown 👊🏼

    Just checked into hotel ahead of commentating on Euro Rowing Champs tomorrow. Seem to have a range of bedtime reading. What to dive into?

    Prince Philip. Serving the nation, supporting, making the Queen laugh & no doubt infuriating her at times for over 70yrs. Thank you Sir. RIP

    Just home from in Ely. Enormous commitment from 4 crews who have trained in isolation on rowing machines for 90% of the season & produced 2 epic races behind closed doors. Brave race from Ox women but fell short. Cam men stunned Ox who were never out of it. Chapeau

    Good work 3 stints down 4 to go. I didn’t feel so special then so not looking forward to the midnight & 4am slots. Helps so much seeing other people “enjoying” it at the same time. We’ve done 18km now so the next session will see us over the hump. Until then...

    Thought I'd send a message ahead of marathon tomorrow. 1. Brilliant job in signing up 2. 8am for 1st stint 3. It's a test of motivation & pacing to go again & again every 4hrs for 24hrs not a race 4. Have fun 5. Rest on Sunday 👊🏼

    Today is a campaign to get people talking about epilepsy, raise vital funds & awareness of the condition. As someone who has epilepsy understanding & removing many of the assumptions & stigma unfairly associated with the condition is crucial

    Captain, leader, legend as we say at the Bridge. Admittedly the CL final wasn't his most productive match!

    Maybe - feels a bit John Terry though turning up & popping on the kit for the last bit.

    Come on big fella at least join for the final leg, we all need a charge for glory. For old times sake we'll even let you cry 😢

    This is a suitably 'challenging' way of doing a marathon. Kudos to JC and all those who are tagging along. I'll be cheering on from the sofa ...old war wound **clutches leg**

    Welcome aboard. It probably won't be the easiest Saturday night for you, but by Sunday morning you'll have raised money for a great cause & completed a marathon. Motivate each other, fuel up straight after each 6km then rest up. Good luck & enjoy 👊🏼

    Year 12 students are going to have a busy weekend with and completing a 24 hour marathon and raising money for in the process. You can sponsor them via the link below!

    The more time I spend with my dog (the Frenchie) & his mates the more I wish I knew what they were thinking. 3 fighting & the white fella wanting to make sweet love. Read the room/park buddy!

    The clocks go forward night of 27th/28th which normally leads to chaos at rowing clubs when half the people forget & don’t show. Here is means one rest will be 3hrs not 4hrs but you can cope 💪🏼 . We’ve got this, it’ll be fun
