Arthur and his three university friends – Harry Lidgley, Charles Bromhead and Oliver Dawe-Lane – were the only team able to complete the race, the GB Row Challenge, because they live together. Other teams had to pull out because of coronaviurus quarantine restrictions. It is thought they raised more than £21,500 for charity.
