Rowing club takes on the John Muir Way

-

Dunbar rowers have become the first group to complete the 134-milelong route from the west coast to the east by boat.

Adventurer­s usually tackle the John Muir Way by foot, but Dunbar Coastal Rowing Club refused to be outdone by ramblers and took to the water to be the first to paddle the course.

More than 20 local rowers took part in the challenge stretching from Helensburg­h to Dunbar, passing a plethora of Scottish landmarks on the way.

They are the first Scottish coastal rowing team to tackle the coast-to-coast route.
