Story
London Cab drivers Daren Parr, , Bob Barber and Stuart Lockhart will attempt to row the Atlantic from Lanzarote to Antigua in 2023.
As ‘Cabbies Do Kilimanjaro’, they raised £18,000 for The Taxi Charity when they climbed Kilimanjaro in 2019, and in February 2022 they climbed Kilimanjaro and Meru and raised £8,000 for the London Taxi Drivers’ Charity for Children and a Tanzanian orphanage.
The Atlantic Row was the idea of a fellow cabbie who suffered a stroke in 2021 and the team wish to raise the profile of this condition especially among London Cab drivers. Money raised from this challenge will be split between the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans, The Stroke Association, and a Tanzanian Orphanage near Arusha.
The ‘Cabbies do Atlantic Row’ team is being supported by Avon Marina who is providing a Scud Ocean Rowing boat for the Atlantic Dash ocean rowing race and Monkey First Adventures who will be offering advice about the challenge.

7 months agoThe 4th March 2023 will forever be etched in our memories. Now back on dry land having achieved what everyone thought would be impossible - we are humbled by all the incredible support and donations we thank each and every one of you. We rowed 3 200 of the toughest miles, experiencing challenging weather systems and technical failures. We'll soon be back in London and in our cabs with many a story of our adventure to tell our passengers!

8 months agoThankyou everyone for the tremendous support and donations. Brilliant news: today they have reached half way. Over the last 2 weeks they have experienced terrible weather conditons and morale was low. Today's milestone has however lifted spirits, the weather is better and even the dolphins have been cheering them on. The count down to Antigua is on.....
