Lovely morning at our rowing club today. We can’t wait to welcome our pupils back to The King’s School Rowing Club very soon! @KSRCRowing

I started cycling as a way to commute to work in London 10 years ago. I was scared about cycling through such a busy city + never imagined my bike would take me on so many amazing adventures around the world. Its changed my life! If you want to discover a passion, just start ♥️🚲

The answer to yesterday's #GeographyAtHome quiz question is Mauna Kea. This dormant volcano is the tallest mountain in the world when measured from its underwater base, at 10,200m in height.
Today's question: Which mountain peak is farthest from the centre of the earth? 🏔️

Completed my monthly book club read,some fascinating chapters & I love the bibliography playlist that inspired each chapter! Makes you think what the next “revolutionary” tech step in Rowing will be, if the sliding seat & big blade spoons were past, what’s the next big step...?

Great to see Cricket back at the MCG - Mavericks finish their 40 overs 163/9..
I find myself, having listened to 45 minutes of @bbctms having no idea about the state of play in the cricket, but enjoying the commentary - perhaps this is the way Sunday should be...

Thanks to @squareblades for our masks- ordered late last night and was delivered this afternoon. Quality product and smart looking. And of course rowing related😃 – at Chester, England
An amazing shift in one generation, online maps now feature the user as the ‘centre of the world’ & 4 million google searches a minute, 30-40% of those have geographical links. Strong points placing Geography as a key subject #pastpresentandfuture bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000kg…
