The Rowing Service

Footage taken on a dim day on the Isis, steering all the way upriver from the bottom summer bungline (no. 13).

Note that the footage was taken from a launch travelling at about light paddling pace. It may at times go a little closer to the bank than a rowing crew could, and at times the angle of the launch's direction may be off for a second or two, pushed when the stream caught the boat briefly round corners and during crossings.

The footage was taken at 5pm on a February day, in strong green-flag stream, typical of a normal Torpids. Colours have been artificially lightened to give better contrast for viewing.

Bunglines may be higher up the river for Torpids.
