2015 was the 50th Anniversary of Cygnet's friendship with RG Benrath in Germany so as well as our annual pilgrimage to the Rhine Marathon many Cygnets and Barnes Bridge Ladies travelled over early for some specially laid on extras...
Special private tour of the Schloss
Famous for it's floor
And it's ceiling
With fancy fittings
And fancy paint jobs
Getting organised for the traditional Schloss shot
An Englishman abroad
Cheeky 500m sprint anybody?
Dinner, speeches...
...and Bier.
The dawn of Marathon Day
Pre-race prep at Leverkusen
Queuing like all good Brits
Afloat at last - BBLRC quad pushes off
Ian getting into the German theme (and boat)
Sunset over the Rhine
Beers you say? No, haven't touched a drop
The Gang's all here
