A preview video for those new to the Gloucester Canal BUCS Head course. We look forward to welcoming you to the South West of England for this years BUCS Head race.
[NB video taken during training session on the Canal, use video to familiarise yourself with the course, the line followed isn't necessarily the optimal]
Helpful Tips:
- short course (Novice) start is pointed out in the video, but look at BUCS Website for Short Course details which differ from Long Course (especially through Sellars Bridge)
- there is no stream on the canal
- overtaking crews need to go around (different to usual race rules) on port side
- it’s a narrow river, be careful where you overtake or you could get caught out
- the 'big bend' near the finish is tighter than you think it is
- we're trying out this format this year, please listen to marshals and officials to help it run as smoothly as possible
