So sadly my grandad passed after a short and unexpected fight with cancer. Feeling helpless is horrendous.But my grandad enjoyed life to the full and was never shy of a challenge or adventure. So what I ve decided to do to remember my grandad and to raise money for cancer research is to stand up paddle the Caledonia canal solo.

From what I can tell this hasn't been done before

My grandad passed just six weeks from diagnosis, So I've set myself the challenge of paddling the canal (60miles) in six days.

The plan is to start the journey from Inverness to Fort William on the 11th of August 2016 finish one year after his death on the 17th August 2016.
