James's Coast to Coast Kayak Challenge
Fundraising for RNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
We've joined together to raise money for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
The challenge: To kayak from Fort William to Inverness along the Caledonian Canal.
The challenge: To kayak from Fort William to Inverness along the Caledonian Canal.
Description: The Caledonian Canal is a distance of approximately 60 miles! We will start at Fort William on the North Atlanic and finish at Inverness on the North Sea North, taking in Loch Ness (23 miles long and up to 1.5 miles wide). We expect the challenge to take two full days.
Why: Partly as a tribute to Gavin Butcher, a volunteer crew member on the Newhaven lifeboat who lost his battle with cancer in ...late February and secondly to help the RNLI raise funds to enable their volunteers to operate 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
The team consists of 7 crew members of the Newhaven Lifeboat and 6 friends of the Newhaven Lifeboat.
Newhaven Lifeboat Volunteer Crew: Alan Novis, Lee Blacknell, Matt Mather, Dave Lossing, Mark Blakey, Alvaro Rodriguez, Neil Winter.
Friends of the RNLI
Mark Newman, Paul Newman, James King, Justin Stoner, Ian Stephenson, Dean Giles
