The Boat Race takes place annually between Oxford and Cambridge Universities, usually in April, it draws large crowds along its 4 mile course from Putney to Mortlake. We had not seen so many people in the entire trip so far. We carried on along the Southbank passing Battersea at 12pm. Crossing over the river we suspended our actual walk at this point Chelsea Bridge, in order to go back and watch the boat race. We caught the tube from Sloane Square to Hammersmith. We walked down to the river, sat and watched the ladies race at 2.15pm then the reserves, then the men's race. Cambridge won them all. We caught tube back to Sloane Square, resuming our walk from Chelsea Bridge to Vauxhall Bridge, giving us slightly less far to walk on our last day.
