Looe Locals, Oars of Thunder Take on The World’s Toughest Row!

We visited The Royal Cornwall Show this weekend to check in on Oars Of Thunder a group from Looe Rowing Club who are taking up the challenge of rowing 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in the World’s Toughest Row for RNLI!

Nat, Harry, Sally and Kim kindly showed us around the boat that will be taking on the Atlantic and gave an insight in to the sleeping arrangements, emergency kit, food, and water stores!

This is an ‘oarsome’ challenge, for a fantastic charity! If you would like to learn more about how you can support the team head over to their website at: www.oarsofthunder.co.uk

D-Day 80 Ceremony at Looe Wooldown.

Last night at 9:15pm the beacon at Wooldown was ignited as Looe paid tribute to veterans past and present. You will not be forgotten.

A huge thankyou to East Looe Town Trust for organising the event, and to Wally Scarah and his grandson for lighting the beacon.

A beautiful ceremony.
