This Abingdon

Abingdon is probably England's oldest town. Abingdon is seven miles downstream from Oxford on the River Thames. 'This Abingdon' is a photo record of events and places in Abingdon.

Dragon Boat 2007


Each crew has three qualifying races to try and get through to the final. So they embark near the finish.

Paddle up to the start point, and with drum beating, thunder down the river,

back to the finishing line.

The weather could have been better for the Rotary Club of Abingdon Vespers, who stage the event. It was either pouring down

or just drizzling.

But despite that, there were still a lot of people up for it, but maybe not as many as last year.
