One of Seasalt’s olympic rowers, Helen Glover, became a gold medallist at the London 2012 games. We caught up with her after her homecoming bus tour of her home town of Penzance and she told us how it felt to become an Olympic Champion…
Thousands of people lined the streets of Penzance and Newlyn yesterday to welcome home Olympic gold medallist Helen Glover and of course Seasalt were there to cheer her on!
It’s well and truly regatta season here in Cornwall. The Henry Lloyd Week is in full swing in Falmouth and even tiny little hamlets are hosting their own water based festivities.
