Welcome! My name is Tommy Tippetts and this is my website covering my attempt to row the Atlantic Ocean, setting out in January 2012.

Below is my blog where you will be able to keep up to date with all areas of my preparation, from sponsors to securing a boat and all my training to prepare for such a challenge.

Please also take some time to look at why I am doing this row, raising money and awareness for mental health in this country and any small donation you can make will go a long way to improving lives of many people around the UK. Please click below to sponsor me on my row in aid of Mind. I am hoping to raise £25,000 for the charity and any contribution you can make, small or big, would be gratefully received.

The gym have just opened a second location in Marlyebone, underneath the Marlyebone hotel. It's very different from where I am training in Soho- much more what you would expect from a central London gym. Not massive and not aimed at serious endurance training, but a great place to mix things up. One thing it does have though is a couple 15ft ropes to climb up. I am a big supporter of using this kind of thing for training, it really is an all...
