Photos from metro series heat 2
We have a few photos of heat two of the 2015/2016 metro series, again from Helen Baker.
Not content with merely sailing the course, the Farr Far Away crew have decided to increase the difficulty and take some great shots while racing. Rumours of a Farr Far Away chess championship during heat three are as-yet unconfirmed.
