At 4pm and exactly on schedule, Steve arrived on the Scullcat at the Globe rowing club in Greenwich.
150 miles, 45 locks, 5 days, 2 equipment failures, 10 blisters, sore arse, 2 kilos lighter, new friends, loads of money for SSAFA, 8 interviews, free accomodation, fabulous foood,......
He went so fast for the last few miles that not all of the welcoming committee were there to see him but there was a great celebration on the beach in front of the Royal Naval college.
Extra guests include Doug, Ellie and Katherine, Rob, Patrick, Rosie, Callum, Lily, Lindsey, Florence and Harry. And Ken from the Globe rowing club.
These were joined with the crew from the week including Sean, John, George, Andy, Adam, Vortex, Luke, Pip, Will, Tim, Tom and Nigel.
With glasses of bubbly and a speech from Steve the party broke up and people headed off home to a hot bath and comfortable bed - or may be that is just me.
I'm not able to put any photos up as I drive down the M4 so I will try and update with some photos tomorrow so please come back to have a look at the Blog over the next few days.
If you have any photos that you would like to add to the blog for everyone to see then please leave a comment with your email address by clicking on the "Comments" button. Or you can link to me on Facebook at "timnlinds".

Until tomorrow. bye
