EIGHT would-be adventurers are being interviewed this weekend for a place on two epic rowing challenges.

Record-breaking Herefordshire man Leven Brown wants to assemble a powerful new crew for the attempts.

Brown skippered the 14-man La Mondiale crew which shattered the world record in January for rowing across the Atlantic Ocean.

The 35-year-old, who lives at Staunton-on-Wye, also holds a Guinness World Record for rowing solo across the Atlantic.

Now Brown is planning a second Atlantic Ocean Expedition which will start in December.

There are also plans for a North Atlantic Ocean Expedition next summer, which would see the crew row from New York to Falmouth.

Brown is recruiting for a new crew, of between 12 and 16 people.

“I am doing about eight interviews on Saturday and they all look promising on paper,” he said.

Anyone interested in taking part in the second Atlantic Ocean Expedition and the North Atlantic Ocean Expedition, should contact Leven Brown on: leven@oceanrowevents.com or 01981 500761.
