On 22–24 September 2025, veteran, explorer and para rower Ben Gallagher, Ambassador for Love Rowing, will take on the extraordinary Big Row Hike Row Challenge: Rowing across some of the UK’s largest lakes and lochs and summiting nearby mountain peaks in Scotland, England, and Wales - all in just three days.

From first light in the Highlands of Scotland to sunset in the valleys of Wales, Ben will cover approximately 115km of rowing and hiking, climbing more than 2,400m in elevation and pushing through three nations in a continuous endurance effort.
