It was good to meet some of the Team Tyne Innovation crew who are preparing to row the Atlantic as part of the 3000 mile Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, the world's toughest rowing race. We met in Wylam where I was shown their boat, which is neither big nor comfy for such an epic adventure. My thanks to the many local sponsors who are helping to make this incredible adventure a reality. If you want to support them and find out more see here:
