The Head is held on the Thames on a shortened championship course from Chiswick bridge to Hammersmith bridge - 4,000 metres. It is a big event, this year attracting 435 of some of the UK's top pairs and doubles.
The planned representation of 4 Maidstone crews dwindled to 2 with Lewin and James (B2x) crying off because of various ailments and Keith and Ray (G2x) crying off because, well, because they can ;).
Chris Mollison and Matt Nicholls entered their first race of the campaign after laying off for pretty much the past year, and rediscovered just how difficult it is in the Senior category. Their pair came in 5th out of 7 and 95th overall in a time of 13.07.86.
The Masters D2x pairing of Geraint Evans and Richard Huggins continued to surprise everyone including themselves with a creditable 3rd out of 9, finishing 158th in 13.34.50.
MIRC competitors take note: crew kit colour coordination looks good!

The day of the Pairs Head (Sunday 13th October) was the day that the indian summer decided to call it a day; with temperatures plummeting, winds rising and rain varying from light drizzle to light downpour all day long. It was a different world after last weeks' MIRC SBH.
