Not content with applying himself to training for the 2011 Polar Race, competitor Charlie Taylor, with 48 hours notice, is taking over a rowing position in this year's London2Paris Rowing Challenge. One of the oarsmen in the Outloars team has been advised on medical grounds to pull out, and Charlie has stepped in at short notice to fill his seat

It helps that Charlie was a member of the record-breaking crew across the Atlantic in 2008.

"Watch those hands, Charlie - blisters and not frostbite now threaten"

With the start of the 2nd London2Paris Challenge scheduled for Sunday May 9th, from Westminster Bridge at 9.00, Competitors and Organisers are now praying for good weather for the vital channel crossing.

Only time will tell!

Competitors are confident and all are now looking forward to just getting on with it.

Come and support the crew and cheer them on their way from Westminster bridge

Reivers 12 have made a powerful video to showcase their participation in the London2Paris Challenge and the rigours of the Challenge itself:
