The Challenge

Led by James Murray the expedition is a challenge to acquire the strength, skills and knowledge necessary to safely get from Ireland to Iceland under human power alone. No motors, no sails.

  

The aim is to set off from Dublin, Ireland in Spring 2021 and to invite crew from various clubs to join for legs on the way to Iceland. 


  

The aim of the trip is to show that seemingly extraordinary things start small with something anyone can do and to fundraise for children in need.

The Route

Departing Dublin in April. The route will follow up Irelands east coast before crossing to Scotland.


Following up the Scottish coast, we'll stop into Oban, Isle of Skye and the Outer Hebrides.


We will cross from Stornoway to the Faroe Islands before preparing for the 250 mile push to Iceland. Once in Iceland we will have to make our way anti-clockwise around the island to reach Reykjavik.


Distance: Approx. 3000km

Sea Temperatures: 6-14 degrees Celsius

Trip length: 3-6 months

 

If you have experience with part of this route I'd love to hear from you to help inform our plans.

Partnerships

 To make this happen, we're looking for an ambitious brand to partner with who believes in our message. The aim of the partnership will be to Enable the expedition, Promote the message through content, and Raise money for charity.

James Murray

Age: 

29


From: 

Wicklow, Ireland


Occupation: 

Marketing


Experience:  

In 2018  I challenged myself to get from London to China by land cycling a tandem bike. What started as 20km a day, at sea level, in the Netherlands during the Summer, became 100km a day, at 4000 meters, in central Asia, during the Winter. 


Reason for rowing:   

My trip taught me that seemingly extraordinary things start small with something that anyone can do.  From this I realised that even an idea like rowing from Ireland to Iceland is possible. 

This expedition is a challenge to acquire the strength, skills and knowledge necessary to safely get from Ireland to Iceland
