Rowers to take on Atlantic, naked, for charity

Two firefighters from Cardiff are preparing to brave the elements, as they row across the Atlantic to raise money for charity. Quite a task in itself, except they're doing it naked

Jamie Windsor and John Haskell will set off from Tenerife in December. They'll be rowing for about three months and will cover a distance of 3,000 miles before they finished their journey in Barbados.

They started their training in Cardiff this week and we sent our blushing reporter Nicola Hendy along to meet them.
