Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

C19 Update: Well this year I was trying to plan paddling most of the length of Ireland but I think it very likely that C19 has stopped that idea! But you never know! Watch this space on that!! If I can go to Ireland then the overall target will increase to 6,000 km of legally navigable (by inflatable kayak) waterways!

Please keep on donating to this fantastic cause & a huge heartfelt thanks to all those from all over the World who have already donated! Cruising the Cut gets my message & challenge all over the World, thanks Dave!

The challenge is to paddle at least 5,000 km around various waterways! In 2013 I did 240 km, in 2014 I did 505 km across southern France (from one side to the other!) In 2015 I did 500 km, in 2016 it was the biggie, 1,185 km (that's 27 full marathons back to back with my arms whilst sat on my bum!) and in 2017 I did 420 km.   2018 paddled 490 km starting at Tewitfield at the head of the Lancaster canal & ending at Atherstone. This year its 620 km starting at Ripon & ending near Lichfield.

That will bring my total so far to 3,765 (ish) km of paddling!
