The Journey
Set Sail From Japan May 2019
Strokes of the Oars
- ≈ 18 per minute
- ≈ 1,080 per hour
- ≈ 12,960 per 12hr day
- ≈ 1,944,000 total strokes
Equivalent to the average amount of strokes in 9623 Olympic 2000m races!
Distance Comparison 1
The Oxford vs Cambridge University Boat Race is 4.2 miles long.
So the distance of the Northern Pacific row is the same as 1210 boat races!
Estimated Row Time
- ≈ 5 months
- ≈ 150 days
- ≈ 3,600 hours
- ≈ 216,000 mins
On his own in a boat - imagine not being able to leave work for that long!
Calories Needed
≈ 5,000 calories per day. The same as you’d burn running 2 marathons.
Total: the same as you need to complete 300 marathons!
Distance Comparison 2
Lands End - John O’Groats ≈ 603 miles.
So the distance to row the Northern Pacific is 8.4 times the length of Great Britain!
During the challenge, Charlie is raising funds for Give Them a Sporting Chance, Veterans In Action and the Allied Forces Foundation.
