Henley Midmar Rowing Club
Henley Midmar Rowing Club is based in the Natal Midlands at Midmar Dam. On the closest Sunday to the middle of winter the club hosts the Midmar Long Row an event brimming with treats like the halfway stop where roasted marshmallows on the open fire are enjoyed alongside homemade German Biscuits as herds of Wildebeest wonder down to see what all the fuss is about. To remind you you are in Africa the Fish Eagle calls her plaintive cry from a nearby perch. Life simply does not get better than this. This event is new but as word gets out it will attract nature lovers from around the country.
