LONG ROW TEAM ON FINAL LEG OF ROWING CHALLENGE AS THEY RETURN TO SCOTTISH WATERS br br br   br br br Scottish couple Allan Lipp and Mhairi Ross are back in Scottish waters on the final leg of their world-record rowing attempt. Their expedition, aimed atbr raising funds for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA), has gained support from across all four nations as they have now rowed the east of Scotland, the coast of England, the south of Wales, east of Ireland,br and finally returning to the west of Scotland today (11thbr of August). br br br br br br Since departing from Wick on 1 June, Allan and Mhairi have rowed unassisted around Britain, on their mission to become the first mixed-pairs team to completebr the 2,000+ nautical mile expedition without touching land or accepting provisions. For nine weeks, they have relied solely on supplies packed onboard their seven-metre rowing boat, Boudicea, often battling high winds and challenging tidal conditions, and neverbr setting foot on solid ground. br br br br br br Allan, a full-time coxswain on the Wick lifeboat and Mhairi, a paramedic with the Scottish Ambulance Service, and volunteer RNLI navigator, have demonstratedbr extraordinary determination and perseverance given the physical and mental demands of such an intense journey.
