World Records!!!!

It has now been confirmed by the guiness book of records that this summers kayak is an official record.

The record is the furthest distance kayaked solo and stands at 327 miles.

Hopefully this will not be beaten and a will be entered into next years official book, but just to be on the safe side I am planning another world record attempt this January to ensure I hold two world records and hopefully one will make it into the book fingers crossed!!!!

The main reason as always though behind the madness of my endurance kayaking is to ensure money and awareness is raised to help provide a clean sustainable water supply to the third world and so far with your help we have managed to change the lives of 200 people!!! a huge thankyou and lets try push for that target of £5000 and beyond.

Thankyou

Hi Daniel.
Well done on your little trip along the canals!
I'm planning my own kayak trip from York to London next year in aid of the RNLI. Been wanting to do it for years, and now it's getting to the stage of planning.
It looks like it won't beat your record though, it's only 315 miles.
But it's all in the challenge!

Regards

Hello again Daniel

Just to let you know that me and my friend will be starting at Ripon instead, a bit further upstream from York.
When I figure out the mileage, I'll let you know!

Maybe you'd like to join us?

Regards
Kev
