Where to watch the races
The Bumps course is downstream of the start of the towpath along the northern side of the river at Chesterton. The Plough pub, in the village of Fen Ditton on the other bank, is also a popular vantage point, as many bumps occur around Grassy Corner and Ditton Corner. At the Plough pub, a river crossing service is available for spectators and race officials and participants between The Plough and the towpath. This service is run by Camboats with profits going to two charities – the East Anglia Children’s Hospice (EACH) and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
