A group of rowing enthusiasts from Shropshire have decided to stretch themselves to their limits by embarking on an epic journey of adventure. In November 2015, the ‘Row the Amazon’ team will be- come only the second crew to row the navigable length of the Amazon River, a challenge which will be done completely unsupported and in aid of a broad range of charities.
The aim of the five man crew is to accomplish the row in 30 days or less. Their vessel will be a 28 foot ocean-going rowing boat named the Bishop, which is just big enough to carry all team members. The length of the Amazon, from Nauta in Peru to Macapá in Brazil, is a total distance of 2077 miles. This is clearly no mean feat.
