Amputee veterans complete Atlantic challenge

Four wounded military veterans have set a new world record after becoming the first all-amputee group to row across an ocean.

Britons Lee Spencer, 46, Nigel Rogoff, 56, Paddy Gallagher, 30, and skipper Cayle Royce, 29, set off from La Gomera in the Canary Islands on December 20, competing in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.

The team, called Row2Recovery, arrived in Antigua's English Harbour at around 4pm GMT following a gruelling 3,000 mile journey across the Atlantic in just a rowing boat to raise awareness of life beyond injury for injured servicemen and women.
