An entry from Barney's Boys to this years Monster the Loch.
What does your boat look like ?
Some boat maintenance was in order prior to the event. A few final checks still to be done before the big drive on the 18th! π£ββοΈπ
We're using this event to soft launch our massive challenge we will be undertaking in 2028 via Facebook live at 1100 whilst taking part in Monster the Loch. Please follow our page if you would like to follow our journey ππ£ββοΈ
We're looking forward to meeting some of you up there. If you see us (3 idiots in an ocean rowing boat!) Please come over and say hi ππ»

Train for the Unexpected
π Monster the Loch has a habit of keeping crews on their toes.
That's why the best preparation isn't just rowing in perfect conditions...
It's getting out there when it's breezy.
When it's raining.
When the water isn't perfectly flat.
Every outing builds confidence.

Tomorrow 4th Sept is the final day to order your Monster kit to pick up at the event. There will be some gear available to purchase on the day but maybe limited. Order directly from Stitch Rowing.

In order of preference, it would probably be:
1) Sweep
2) Sculling
3) Fixed seat (coastal, 4+)
Never done gig or dragon boat.
Thank you.

Why We Love Monster
There's a reason so many crews come back to Monster the Loch year after year.
It's not just the rowing.
It's the scenery.
The challenge.
The atmosphere.
The friendships.
And the stories you'll still be telling long after you've crossed the finish line.
Who's racing this year?
