The Hel van het Noorden is considered the toughest rowing competition in the Netherlands. Sometimes it seems like a bingo of boat numbers

Rowing club Aegir held the toughest rowing competition in the Netherlands for the 45th time on Sunday: the Hel van het Noorden. So it was not a rutting moose that could be heard for miles around on this Sunday morning, but just a rower who was completely broken.
