A British expat has just returned to the UAE from the UK after clocking up a gruelling one million metres rowing up and down the UK. Dubai resident Lee Felton and his rowing partner Sean Lannon took nine days to cover the distance for charity. The challenge, branded #UrbanRow, took them through 6 different cities starting from Birmingham and finishing in Newcastle. Felton is part of a three-man rowing team, who are gearing up to complete an epic 4,828km trip rowing across the Atlantic Ocean in aid of charity.
