Graham was rowing in The Hereford Bull, a Wye Trow replica built specifically for the event. These boats were traditionally built to carry cargo on the Wye and would have been either wind, horse or man powered. ‘It was an honour to take part in what surely will be a once in a lifetime experience’ said Graham. ‘The atmosphere was fantastic and there was a real camaraderie amongst the other vessels taking part. We all feel that we have played our part in history.’
