Not so, however, the solo 100,000 metres row, which continues to grow in fashionabilityness as a report from Stuart Garrett makes clear:Inspired by Andy Robinson after speaking to him and watching as he rowed his 100,000 metres at 'The Big One' [see previous Newsletters], Steve Lunn and I set a date for the May 21st to complete the individual 100,000 metre challenge.I asked Steve if he would row alongside me as I knew it would seem to be easier if I rowed with someone to take away the boredom and so that we could watch each other's display for rest periods. I also knew there was very little chance that he would say no.Our times came out as: Stuart – 7:28:46, Steve – 8:24:27I would just like to say a very BIG thank you to all those who supported us in our gruelling challenge especially to Heather and John Bush for being with us throughout and acting as official sponsors.This was a charitable event for CRY - Cardiac Risk in the Young - which we raised 709 pounds for and a close personal friend Anton Szculz who is the Managing Director for a local Renault garage gave us 400 pounds which bought it to a total of 1,109 pounds.
