My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page
I am taking part in the Celtic Challenge which is described as the World's Longest true rowing race where teams race from Arklow in County Wicklow, Ireland to Aberystwyth on the Welsh coast, a distance of about 100 miles. Celtic and Pembrokeshire longboats take part (and occasionally other similar boats also join in) – each boat is about 24 feet (8m) long and has 4 fixed seats and one cox.
Each team taking part in the Celtic Challenge consists of 12 people who take it in turns to row and cox - we are a team (Shropshire Novices) who had never rowed before January this year.
The race is described as an extreme test of endurance and generally takes between 15 and 24 hours, depending on the weather - we may take longer. The race usually starts in the afternoon with all the teams rowing throughout the night and sometimes arriving in Aberystwyth very early in the morning.
The race this year takes place sometime this weekend - the 4th and 7th of May 2012, with the exact race start window depending on weather.
