So we made this, alongside all our radio work.

We gaffa-taped mics and cables together, held cameras in one hand as we commentated with the other... basically, we busked it as we went along.

But the end result was something pretty special.

It’s funny the memories that social media can throw up.

Two years ago, myself and some *incredibly* talented colleagues at @BBCCornwall put together a special documentary on the World Pilot Gig Championships.

GUYS!!!! I'm looking for some UK rowers to chat to me about their rowing / fitness / lockdown life for a feature. I'd need a brief chat and a pic. In particular I'm looking for:
1 - River rower (pref not London/SE)
2 - Coastal rower
3 - Gig rower
4 - St Ayles skiff rower
Anybody?

Our crowdfunder has reached our first goal of £100k, a huge milestone on our mission to raise the £300k needed to buy the lofts

With another £200k to raise, we can't slow down. The crowdfunder is still open and auctions are coming up so please help spread the word 💙

Absolutely heartbreaking to read this tonight. But the right decision and we thank the WPGC committee for taking swift and decisive action.

This is a unique, special event in the gig rowing - and indeed rowing - calendar. The impact will be felt far and wide. 😥😥💙💙

@CPGAgigs Part 2 #1. Struggling a bit here...can I have a clue please?

[Looe Rowing Club @LooeRowingClub]

@ThamesTradesmen Not gonna lie, bit bored of looking at flat calm mirror like seas and not being to go for a row. Almost forgotten how what rowing is...

[Armand Toms @ArmandToms]

Morning from a Sunny Looe and another day working from home. My thought for today is for everyone to try and do one act of kindness for someone a friend, loved one or neighbour. Make it a better place to live #StayHomeSaveLives

🚣🏻I can see some healthy gig rowing vs sliding seat rowing competition to be had here, as well as a way to bring our rowing communities together! 🚣🏻‍♂️

💪🏻So c’mon slidey seaters, we challenge ya! Are you game? 💪🏻
