Greetings from Australia. I'm an expatriate Taff born 1949 in Aberystwyth and ended up in Aussieland late '65. Used to row a bit in the 70's for Toowong Rowing Club Qld, then Banks Rowing club in Melbourne. 'Rediscovered' rowing via the C2 at a local gym and am thoroughly enjoying it, albeit on dry land. Rob, the 6:50 challenge is now 6:40. Email address :

This season is a serious one for me. I have just turned 40 and only have 1 target, that target is to row a sub 17:00 5000m.
By the end of this year (2007) I am confident that I will crack it this time round.
A proud member of the Countrywide MAD Team (MAD 9).

I took up erging in April 2006 because of pressure from Mr T saying that Taff Attack needed some girls in the team.
I entered my first event in Evesham July 2006 and managed bronze with 11 Taff attack boys egging me on- it has to rank as my most terrified moment ever!!!, At Evesham this year got silver in the mile.
Came 6th in the BIRC just ahead of Carole Mac who then died of cancer a few months later (she has been a great inspiration to me since).
I am the girl behind the chocolate cake in the team!
I have recently taken up on the Water rowing which is now threatening to take up all of my time.

Completed a Million Metre Indoor Rowing Challenge for Charity at the end of 2004 and as a result of the increased amount of rowing (and fitness), it has given me the confidence to take Indoor rowing more seriously as a competitive sport.

Restarted rowing in Sep06 to lose some weight (20-25 lbs), improve aerobic conditioning, endurance, and leg strength. I am an avid skier including Mad River Glen (of which I am a share-holder) and Tuckerman Ravine, which many consider extreme. While not Welsh, I am almost half Scot on my mother's side. Going for my first million meters this year.
