Explorers Connect: Rowing Great Britain

Explorers Connect welcomes Leo Forster, an amateur ocean rower and world record holder.

  •  May 3, 2018
     6:30 pm - 11:00 pm

Explorers Connect is a collective of explorers and adventurers, meeting for talks, socials and expeditions.

Leo Forster is an amateur ocean rower and world record holder. In 2017 he set out to lead The Common Oars Team around Great Britain unaided. Prior to the row he had absolutely no ocean experience and had never rowed a boat! The crew planned to break the world record of 26 days but after enduring some horrendous weather and severe food rationing, made it home in 59 days.

Come along and listen to an evening of tales from the sea, Leo’s experience of a truly unforgiving coastline, how he ended up with an unexpected world record and how to start your own adventure.
