A 70-year-old adventurer is well on the way to raising £1million after becoming the oldest solo rower to cross the Atlantic.
Fittingly, Frank Rothwell did the 3,000 miles in a boat called Never Too Old.
He left La Gomera, in the Canary Islands, in December and reached Antigua in the Caribbean on Saturday.
After crossing the finish line, the tired grandad said: “It took six long weeks to row, after 18 months of training.”
Frank, who said his journey had been “unbelievable”, hopes to raise £1million for dementia research. Boosted by a huge wave of donations his fund last night stood at more than £720,000.
