Wedged between the flagship tideway events in the rowing calendar of WEHoRR and HoRR, MUBC’s local head of the river found itself unusually forgotten about as a focal race in the North Western head season. For MUBC’s women’s squad, NoEHoRR was an opportunity to celebrate the culmination of head season after the incredible experience on the tideway the week prior, whereas for the men’s squad the event became a stepping stone for final technical adjustments before their event on the tideway the following week. A 5 km course on the river Dee became became a measure of the squads’ training progression as head season concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
