> Dear All,
> 
> Magdalene Boat Club and Mallory Club (alumni) are contemplating entering Monster the Loch, a race held on Loch Ness in September. We have raced it before, as well as Corpus and potentially a few other crews.
> 
> If your club is interested, please get in touch as it might be useful for sharing towing / accommodation / transport etc.
> 
> I'll leave the actual organisation of your crews to the respective clubs. We haven't fully committed yet but seem to have a keen contingent so far and will firm things up towards the end of August.
> 
> Any questions, feel free to get in touch. I'll likely be a bit useless in responding for the next 3 weeks but will try to get back to you when I can.

> The Details
>

> Scotland, attracting all sorts of human-powered vessels from fine VIIIs to
> paddle-boards to pedaloes.
> 
> A few practical and logistical items:
> 
> Course: Fort Augustus to Dores (or the other way depending on wind) 22.7 miles
> (36.5km)
> Approx time: 2-3 hours rating around 22-24spm

> Recovery day(s): Sunday 24th September onwards
> 
> Fixed Costs:

> coaches to and from the start/finish from either end of the Loch, celebratory
> official t-shirt stash etc.
> 
> Other costs to consider:

> - Accommodation 
> - Transport to/from the Loch 
> 
> Nearest transport: Rail, air, coach services all in Inverness at the end of
> the Loch
> 
> A quick warning: the organisers will try their hardest to make sure we are
> allowed to boat, but being an open piece of water it can get quite rough and
> they will make a decision on the day as to whether fine boats can start. If we
> can't, we'll find something else to do!
> 
> If you have any questions about the race, then get back in touch with the
> self-appointed Nessie-Hunter-in-Chief at info at malloryclub.com <mailto:info at malloryclub.com>.
