Toby Wallace Crew Training (September 2013):
The crew for the Atlantic in February 2014 met at Rudyard Lake, near Leek, UK on a fine weekend in September 2013. Racing ocean rowing boats up and down the lake, getting a feel for the boats, testing out kit and freeze dried food, plus socialising together made for a very enjoyable time!
