Niall Iain MacDonald, presenter of the BBC Radio nan Gàidheal indie music show Rapal, is heading for the US next year – by rowing boat…
MacDonald is planning the solo trip to raise awareness of mental health issues, from New York to Stornoway in May 2011 – the 3000 mile voyage should last around 3 months. He has already done a mini-trip as a ‘warm-up’, 36 hours across the Minch between Stornoway and Ullapool in 2008.
