I heard john snow was the crew to be in...but then I could be wrong. There's like a crew per college at Durham (9 boat houses), kinda weird but just like OxBridge.

They share a boathouse though don't they? any idea if they head to things like head of the river race?

why do you want to row, macca?
sounds like a condition worthy of a spot in DSM IV to me.

yea thats what I don't get, why have 2 crews rowing out of the same boat house with the same equip and coaches.

That stretch of water is perfect for rowing and other water sports, I'm not sure but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a head and surely sprints. There's a dam/bridge thing that constantly keeps the upstream river at high tide.

Both the Stockton colleges are pretty terrible. They certainly didn't enter HORR this year, though might have done in the past. They occasionally turn up to some of the DCR (Durham College Rowing) events, and loose badly.
