Some people drive it, others cycle it, and the very ambitious walk from John O’Groats to Land’s End. But nobody has ever been truly barmy enough to row a boat from the most north easterly tip of mainland Britain to the most south western point. Until now.
There are many reasons why such a journey by rowing boat could be considered a rash undertaking. There are the 1,097 miles of sea, river and canal for starters. There are the three weeks of a punishing schedule of row, eat, sleep, row again.
Who could be crazy enough to attempt such a feat? And why?
Step forward Lumbers’ Captain Dominic Gomersall and his merry crew: Olympic rower Gary Reid, Leicestershire businessman Ian Mattioli, Andy Lyon from PWC, and Paul Bassett from Lumbers. The crew will be completed by another Tigers star for the 2010 challenge.
