Adventure ahead

The army’s official crew in the World’s Toughest Row make the first strokes in an epic 3,000-mile journey from the Canary Islands to Antigua.

In a first for the service, the rowers are all junior ranks from the same unit – 12th Regiment, Royal Artillery – and are being led by skipper Bdr Katie Devine (pictured).
