Rowers raise £2,000 after rising to cross-lough challenge
Crews from County Antrim Yacht club undertook a gruelling rowing challenge at the weekend to raise funds for new boats - and charity.
Around 20 members of the coastal rowing section made the 10k trip from their home base of Whitehead to Bangor and back in crafts that are on loan to the club.
The longest distance challenge which the club has previously taken part in was just under 5K.
