A Record Breaking Row around the British Isles - Nick Dennison

This week we add to our extraordinary toolbox by speaking with army doctor and rowing record holder Nick Dennison. In 2010 Nick, along with his team mate Hamish Reid became the first pair to row unsupported around Great Britain.

 

It's a long way around Great Britain, 11,000 miles, depending upon how you measure it. This weeks story is about the first pair to row that distance, and the courage and grit required. Nick tells about the challenges they faced, such as punishing winds, deadly waves and the psychological and physical assaults the seas provided them, and how support from those around them gave them the belief that they could accomplish such a phenomenal adventure.

 

Through Nick's story we add a few more things to our Extraordinary Toolkit.
