Wow, over £1000 raised. Thank you to everyone who has supported me/Lupus. All I have to do now is actually do it.

£478.10 raised! I can't believe it. I'm so close to my £500 target!

I plan to canoe the entire length of the River Dee in Wales/England. From it's source at Llyn Tegid to the weir at Chester where the river becomes tidal is 110km. I aim to do this over two days - this mean I will have to carry all of my gear - camping eqpt. food etc. in my boat. I will be on my own throughout the trip with no external support. I will have to negotiate rapids of Class I - III and I hope to not have to portage anything.
