Stormy and Sleth will be speaking about their trip in the Nethercliff hotel 5th May at 7.00pm. Open to the public.

The Long Row Home was all about pushing boundaries, testing limits, and raising funds for two incredible charities: the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) and SCAA (Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance).

And, while we have certainly succeeded in the mental and physical challenge, and raising money for our chosen charities (a sincere thank you to all our supporters), the forecasted weather led to us pausing the row in Tobermory on 20 August 2024.

Follow Allan Lipp and Mhairi Ross, known as Stormy and Steth, on their world-record rowing attempt to circumnavigate Great Britain. Join their journey.
