Hi, I've completed the paddle in my 70 year old collapsable kayak from Cricklade to The Thames barrier - and I certainly saw how far it is! - I arrived on my 70th birthday; 20th June 2007 to a great welcome from a great set of friends.

To add to the fun, I have been raising money for the Life Boats and met all sorts of people on the way. Many of my pals and others joined in or waved on the way. Visit my web site www.regjones.org for all sorts of details, my "audio log" and some background.

The sponsorship forms and other off-line donations are nearly all back, I have added the current, but not final, amount to this total.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RNLI - Royal National Lifeboat Institution will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
