Student from Cambridge finishes row from Europe to South America

Ms Lachlan will join the Army in September as a technical officer, having completed a physics degree at Loughborough University.

During the journey she overcame a cut leg, an injured arm, a broken finger, capsized boat and broken equipment.

She said: “I found that last week actually really hard, because I knew I was close and it never actually felt close enough.

“But then it really snuck up on me, because French Guiana is actually very flat, and I didn’t see it until I was about five miles offshore.

“And then all of a sudden I was just here, and obviously it feels nice to be done.

“Nobody knew I was coming in, but I got clapped by lots of fishermen from Brazil. I think everybody was just a little bit more confused what on Earth I was doing.”
