coracle regatta, hackney

On Sunday, I was picking up a paper in my local newsagent when I saw a flyer for a coracle regatta, about 2 mins away from my house. My friend was coming over from SW London, so I thought it would be a nice taste of the arty, bohemian East End to go check it out.

So me and Hal donned our "struggling-artist-look" tops (no-one understands his work), and strolled over with a big caipirinha jug.

It was by the canal in Hackney, and was generally a jolly good show, with a BBQ, a very free have-a-go attitude. I fell in.

It was organised by a nice guy called Harry, who also built the coracles. What a dude.
