Miriam Payne, From a landlocked pocket of Yorkshire, hadn’t even been at sea until she rowed the Atlantic solo back in 2022. Having studied Physics with Astrophysics, she soon realised she was destined for a life of adventure and a taste for the ocean, too.
Jessica Rowe, from Hampshire, Jess is an adventurer passionate about the outdoors. She’s rowed the Atlantic, hiked England’s South West Coast Path, climbed Mount Kenya, and cycled across Spain. It was this taste for adventure that naturally led her to her greatest accomplishment to date, rowing the Pacific Ocean.
