Brothers break record rowing from Peru to Australia

The brothers finished their journey, which had started in Peru, in Cairns in Australia

Three brothers from Edinburgh have completed a pretty incredible record-breaking challenge.

They have rowed non-stop and unassisted from Peru in South America to Australia - right across the Pacific Ocean.

Lachlan, Ewan and Jamie MacLean have travelled more than 9,000-miles (14,484km).

The journey has taken 140 days, beating the current record of 162 days, raising more than £700,000 for charity.

The brothers have battled bad weather, especially in the final stretch of their journey.

Lachlan was even washed overboard during a 36-hour storm in July.

Luckily, he was attached to the boat by a safety line, and Ewan was able to help him back on board.

To be able to break the record and row unsupported, they weren't allowed to land on an island to resupply or get help from any other boats.

They took enough food to last 150 days, which included 500kg of freeze-dried food and 75kg of oats.

Jamie described the adventure as "the most incredible, relentless and often surreal" of his life.

He said: "While I might miss the routine, the solitude, the sunsets and sunrises and so much more, right now I'm just very glad to be back on land with my friends and family, who I've missed so much.

"This has been the hardest thing I've ever done, and I couldn't have even contemplated it without my brothers.

He added: "This won't surprise anybody – but all I want is a pizza."
