The 6-man team rowed from Longyearbyen, Svalbard to the Arctic ice pack (79'55'500 N) and then onto Jan Mayen.

2019 Lake District Swim Challenge

Longman began the human-powered journey at the Southern end of Ullswater with Tom Elliott. Three and a half days later, Longman completed Lake Windermere, England's longest lake, completing the challenge in 78 hours. Unfortunately, Elliott failed to complete the challenge.

2021 Lake District Swim Challenge
Following George Taplin's new record time of 59 hours, set in 2020 (driving rather than cycling between the lakes), Longman attempted the challenge again in August 2021. Longman set a new record for the 44 mi route, with a time of 41 hours and 7 minutes.
