A duo including a man from Oxford has set a world record after completing a row across the Atlantic Ocean.

Jim Ronaldson, from Oxford, and Ian Davies, from Oswestry in Shropshire, completed the challenge on Saturday night, brining to an end their 66 day, 17 hour, and 12 minute journey.

By arriving in Antigua, they set the world record for being the oldest men's pair to row any ocean.

Team Never2Late were a combined age of 132 years and 48 days when they set off, beating the previous record of 124 years and 301 days.

Mr Ronaldson said: "It was an amazing experience and I don’t think it’s sunk in yet and it will not sink in for a while.

"You guys give ordinary people the chance to live their dream and it’s amazing."

Mr Davies said: "It’s never easy. What you are faced with is what nature gives you.

"It’s a race, it’s a challenge but you can only face the challenge with what’s put in front of you.

"Some will have a quick race, some will not have a quick race, some will be lucky some will be unlucky, but you keep going and the more you go the better it feels.”

The team raised more than £25,000 for charities Myeloma UK and Papyrus.

Their journey spanned 3,000 miles from La Gomera to Antigua.
