The Countdown to GB Row 2022 begins
Are you up for the challenge?
"Having rowed the Mid-Atlantic in 2014 in 39 days and Rowed Around Great Britain in 2017 in 37 days, I am in the unique position of being able to compare the two events. The Mid Atlantic route has the isolation factor of being miles from anywhere and course-plotting is straight forward, the Row Around Great Britain Challenge takes this to the next stage due to need to factor in ever-changing tidal flows, the challenge of navigating busy shipping lanes and the effect the coastline has on the weather conditions. The isolation factor is heightened by being able to see land but never touch it.
So, if you’re looking for a challenge that will test you physically and mentally then the Row Around Great Britain challenge is the one for you. "

Resilience
Christopher Allchin
A tarnished banner flying proudly in the tempest,
bowing not to the icy raspings and veiled lashes
thrown at its delicate frame.
Stead-firm in its resolve,
unwavering, yet, not without fear.
For it takes the ugly whispers of doubt,
gnawing away at your character,
to say that you are brave.
For a brave mind without concern is foolish,
and a foolish mind concerned with bravery the same.
So let us raise our tired oars,
and row to that hidden horizon.
For when the quest is noble,
and your crew strong in heart,
there lies no corner of this globe,
that your soul cannot chart.
THE WORLD'S TOUGHEST ROWING RACE
