Post by: MarieH on May 03, 2012, 18:30:34: I'll be out of my exam (which is on campus) before 2pm, so I could be at the boathouse for 2pm. If this is too late for people, no worries. Also, I'm a driver with no roof rack so I could take advantage of whatever ye have up yer sleeves!

Post by: MarieH on May 05, 2012, 14:24:01: Nice pictures. I find going backwards (and partly upside-down) over Jacksons makes things far more exciting!
