Rowing
James will be rowing across the English Channel from Dover to Cap Griz Nez just south of Calais. This stage of the trip is around 22 miles (35km) and should take James around 4 hours.
This isn't your average row, the English channel is one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and at this time of the year the conditions can be more than a little rough. According to the French authorities, this leg of the trip is an 'unconventional crossing' and an 'irresponsible act'!
With that in mind, we've had a specially modified coastal scull built by our friends at Burgashell. We've christened the boat 'Continental Challenge', and we're confident that it will get James off to great start.
