The adventure begins on Tuesday 29th of June as Lands Ends becomes Seas Beginning. The 6 man crew will cast off from (hopefully) sunny Cornwall, skirting the north coast of the South West peninsula as they row through these dangerous water and head towards the Bristol Channel.

 

Our intrepid crew making leaving the open seas, but they make their way inland on the river that has the strongest tides in Europe. With an average 12 knot tide, the guys are going to have to work hard!

 

Let the party begin. Well, a party for those who haven’t just been rowing for the last 10 days!! Hosted by Leicester City FC at The Walkers Stadium, the brave crew will arrive in Leicester’s canals which surround the LCFC stadium. This will be a chance for you to find out what it’s really like on the boat, straight from the crew themselves.

 

Recovering from the party, the crew will climb back into their Cornish Pilot Gig. This 6 man boat will have all the crew rowing from dawn till dusk along the rivers and canals towards Grimsby.

 

The 6 man crew will row the final North Sea leg of the journey in an Ocean Rowing boat, with three of the crew rowing for two hours and then changing over, 24 hours a day for 6 days! And then after 24 days, too little sleep and possibly too much Kendal Mint Cake – the finish!!
