Throughout the course of this series we’re following the journey of adventurer and extreme sports enthusiast Cazz Lander as she prepares to row 2000 miles along the coast of Great Britain. A lot has moved on since we caught up in episode 1, and after a raft of setbacks, training is in full swing. 

Now in South Africa, the team of Cazz and her partner Andre are making great strides towards their goal of hitting the Great British waters in June, despite not yet having had a chance to row in the boat they’re going to use.

In this episode we explore the formidable character of the weather, we discuss the importance of worrying less about the things you can’t control, and we learn how to keep pushing through when things go wrong.
