We’ve 36 rowers taking part in this challenge - we have 9 rowing boats, each taking 4 people (2 rowing at any one time).
The event will take place on Wednesday 21 May. We start off at Ambleside, spending a little time learning how to manoever our boats and row in sync! We then do the 10.5 mile row down the full length of the lake to Lakeside where we turn around (no stopping!) and retrace our route back to Ambleside to complete the 21 miles. We aim to complete the challenge in 6 to 7 hours.
Stamina and a high level of physical fitness is required and previous rowing experience is definitely an advantage.
Each participant is expected to raise a minimum of £300 for Macmillan.
It's our 10th year of supporting Macmillan and to celebrate we have 10 challenges. Through these 10 challenges, Coffee Morning and Christmas, we hope to raise £150,000 to help people affected by cancer with their energy bills.
