Lent term began early for DCBC, with a training camp in Banyoles, Spain. It was full of opportunities, from racing against some of CUWBC’s finest to exploring wonderful Barcelona.

It has been an extraordinary few years for the Downing women in May Bumps. In 2013 the crew had led the way for three days – only to get bumped at the last by Clare and heartbreakingly lose the top spot at the death.
