An Easter vac Varsity meant CUOCers converged on the Lake District from the furthest reaches of this sceptered isle. Well, some unnamed individuals fled their captain's summons (or the oppressive legislation of embargos) to destinations as further flung as Spain. The trials of Easter holiday traffic contended with we slowly assembled at Thurston Outdoor Activity Centre on the shores of lake Coniston.
Dom gave us the lowdown on Oxf*rd's (and his) pre-Varsity ̶t̶r̶a̶i̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ cheating, Lachlan was happily reunited with his beautifully cleaned shoes and many wondered whether Oli would ever return from the fell the next day... Soon it was time to venture up to the 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 bunks beds although not quite early enough for Oxf*rd's 9.30pm bedtime!
On Saturday morning we got up at a reasonable time, ate some cereal, drank some tea, and headed off to the race. Lachlan and Oli promptly went the wrong way but finally our Our 7-strong team of Rachel, Beth, Pete, Oliver & Dom, led by captains Lachlan & Sarah convened in a field. Vitally the sheep were also in the field, and clearly sensing Oxf*rd's weakness - strength does not necessarily come in numbers...

Cars slowly left the field, sheep remained. Showers were had and eventually Lachlan persuade people to engage with some culture for the afternoon - i.e. go to the pub. He was most grateful for the teetotalage of many a CUOCer to be chauffeured to the pub. He was less grateful when it came to the boat race - which is about enough said about that. Dinner saw a long awaited return of Wilf's with the highlight surely being the sticky toffee pudding - what lunatics would choose bread and budding pudding is beyond me. prizes were awarded, tankards were filled, and Lachlan drank from Pete's for aforementioned reasons. CUOC memories from over the years were shared and the evening finished with a series of increasingly less adult games across the various rooms of the centre culminating in sucking cereal boxes off the floor - Lachlan was sure to get one back on those DrongOs who beat him earlier in the day. A suitable lack of sleep was had by most - and Dom got to enjoy Ryan's (Oxford) sleeptalking.

Controls were collected and we descended the fells and parted ways. Return journeys seemed disappointingly unremarkable. Well done to everyone who came and ran and a massive thank you to Scott and Anne from JOK for all their hard work organising and planning the weekend - we all had a lovely time. We're all looking forward to next year when Varsity goes global - to Czechia!
