Midday 3rd Nov 2015 British Adventurer Will Complete 4.5 Year Trans-world Expedition

LONDON, November 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

ADVANCE NOTICE: At midday tomorrow (03/11/2015) record-breaking British Adventurer, Sarah Outen MBE, will kayak under Tower Bridge to complete her gruelling four and a half year round the world expedition that has seen her cycle, kayak and row over 25,000 miles.

For the very last stretch of her London2London: Via the World expedition she will kayak up the Thames from Teddington to Tower Bridge - her start point for the expedition back in April 2011. She will be accompanied by a mini flotilla of kayakers and RNLI boats.

During her expedition Sarah became the first person to row from Japan to Alaska but it is safe to say that this has not been an easy journey.  She has survived a mid-Ocean rescue on the Pacific Ocean, cycled through brutal weather conditions in the Gobi Desert and kayaked some of the toughest waters in the world.

A full press release and media pack will be sent out tomorrow (3^rd Nov, 2015) once Sarah finishes. 

Sarah's journey started in April 2011 when she kayaked from London to France. From there she jumped on her bike and cycled a punishing 11,000 miles across Europe, Russia and Asia before kayaking to Japan. In 2012 she made her first attempt to row solo across the Pacific but this was cut short when she was hit by a Tropical Storm and had to be rescued. She went back a year later and successfully rowed from Japan to Alaska in 150 days.

She then kayaked one of the toughest routes in the world - the 1500 miles through the Aleutian Islands, off the coast of Alaska and is believed to be the first person to do this, before cycling across Alaska and North America to Cape Cod. From here she set off to row solo across the Atlantic to the UK but was forced to call for a pick up due to Hurricane Joaquin - she lost her boat Happy Socks during the evacuation from the ocean. She then finished the expedition as planned by cycling and kayaking from Falmouth back up to London.
