Cambridge Judge Business School Research: Recent Episodes
Cambridge University
Mark de Rond and Anton Wright talk for the first time about their record-breaking row along the navigable waters of the River Amazon, a journey in excess of 2,000 miles. They survived storms, massive river barges, and were forced to row 24 hours a day because of shipping and bureaucratic hold-ups in Peru.
The quick-witted thinking of a 14-year-old Brazilian boy rescued Cambridge Judge Business School's Mark de Rond and Clare College rowing coach Anton Wright close to the end of their Amazon rowing marathon.
Mark de Rond and Anton Wright are closing in on their aim to be the first unsupported team to row the Amazon. They have completed more than three quarters of the 2,077 navigable miles of the rivers in less than a month. There were frustrating delays at the start and a massive three-hour storm which caused considerable damage last week. But they hope to finish this weekend.
