Exeter Rowing Club

Salty and happy smiles all around. Exeter went to Fowey for a training camp! Hard sessions and beautiful views — how lucky are we?!
So many special experiences and memories were made.
Many thanks to Chloe White for organising everything!
Big shout-out to our coaches for supporting us, and to everyone who came and helped out.
Rest up — it’s well deserved.
