What's it like to row an ocean?

"The idea to row 3000 miles across one of the biggest oceans in the world sounded like a good idea in a pub in Yorkshire. Two years later, we were ready to go. We'd learnt how to row, how to navigate at sea, how to survive if we capsized and importantly the secret to overcoming sea sickness. Setting off with a world record in our sights, we were confident of a quick and stable crossing. It was anything but!

 

Our whole race and world record attempt was ripped apart in the first 24 hours."

 

Luke (WildBase co-founder) reflects on his attempt to row across the Atlantic Ocean with his good friend Alex .

How are you spending your time?

If you sleep for seven or eight hours a day, that leaves about 17 hours (or 1000 minutes) a day to do stuff. Thinking about those 1000 minutes as 100 blocks of 10 minutes gives a fascinating perspective on what wea do with our time. How many blocks do you spend on things that are important to you?

WILD AND SCILLY MERMAIDS

 

If you're ever in the Isles of Scilly and fancy a swim give Anna and Ruth (aka the Wild and Scilly Mermaids) a call. Sea swimming all year round in all conditions. Skins, wetsuit or nothing goes!

TRY THE LONDON SPIRAL

 

A 200 mile route spiralling anti-clockwise through the streets of London. Devised by Tim Ingram-Smith this alternative exploration of London takes in parks, woodland, some famous sites, suburbia and would probably take a while to complete.
