Do the Boat Race crawl

Beer gardens are filling up and the University Boat race is upon us once again - sure signs that spring has finally arrived.

And what better way to celebrate the new season than combining the excitement of watching the most important rowing event of the year with an afternoon sat outside a pub on the Thames.

As Oxford look for a second successive victory, you can choose from twelve glorious watering holes along the route.

The race starts at 1.30pm in Putney and ends four-and-a-quarter miles upstream at Mortlake. Can you last the distance?
