Shropshire rower crosses finish line in Atlantic challenge to set new world record
Endurance rower Ian Davies has crossed the finish line in the world's toughest rowing challenge to set a world record.
It was the perfect present for Iain from Oswestry who was also celebrating his 64th birthday on the same day.
He and Jim Ronaldson (as team Never2Late) became the oldest pair to ever row the 3,000 miles from La Gomera to Antigua, finishing on Sunday in a time of 66 days, 17 hours and 39 minutes.
And among the first to greet them were Ian's grandchildren - who are still awaiting the arrival over the line of their parents who are also taking part in the Atlantic Challenge.
