I went down to London yesterday to join a group of students from my course (and another from my college) watch the 153rd Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race.

We bought tickets to the Friends of Cambridge party, which was held at Winchester House, overlooking the start of the race in Putney. The race was very close, with Oxford leading before Cambridge pulled forward and won by one and a quarter lengths, taking the running tally of wins to 79-73 to Cambridge.
