Details of the SBH are on CRC’s web site here, but some SBH docs are here too, below. The LDS started at 10.30am and the afternoon SBH started at 2.30pm (nearly). There was an upper limit in each of 100 entries. Distance 2500m morning, reduced in the afternoon.

Note re change in start location at Tyne
The finish position was moved from the normal location about 500 metres upstream of Newburn Bridge to about 200 metres below the bridge. This allowed boats to finish and then go straight into the sites on either side of the river. The race length was thus reduced from the planned 4500m to 3800m.
South Hylton -
The LDS on the lower Wear was hosted by City of Sunderland Rowing Club. No associated SBH. The race was due to start at 14:30. Distance was 4750m approx..

Series background
The Northern Rowing Council, with the help of host clubs, runs the Long Distance Sculling (LDS) series every autumn. We aim to have six competitions over six consecutive weekends each year though there is a gap in the six weeks in 2022. All six ran in 2022.
The LDS series is for sculling boats only -
There are associated but independent Small Boats Head (SBH) competitions with sculling and sweep in the afternoon on four of the six days. See the home clubs’ web sites for details of these.
