A new Beginning!!
Well i have come on here to keep everything updated for this summers charity event. This way i can easily update and post new pictures as the event unfolds.
For those of you who are not aware this summer i am kayaking the full length of england from the idyllic backdrop of the lakes to the metropolis that is london in order to raise money for water aid. Something i believe to be of great importance and worth.
The attempt will be solo although people are always welcome to come wave me on or paddle sections of the route with me, of which all details can be found on the website http://paddleaid.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ also from here you can link through and make donations and leave messages of support.
This is going to be a world record attempt as well so plenty to work hard for and to look forward too!
The journeys beggining is June the 9th which leaves little time to prepare but trainning and publicity has now started in the Northwest and should hopefully filter its way down the country as i do so stay posted and keep up to date as i am sure the stories will get more interesting than this one lol
As for now i will give a quick shout out to P&H seakayaks for the donating the boats, lendal for the paddles and holmes place gyms for helping me get fit! a tough ask and also tyo granada tv for all their support and help in publicising the event!! keep watching as i will be on tv at some point and as this is my 15mins of fame dont blink and miss lol
