I am paddle boarding the Leeds to Liverpool canal. Starting at Granary Wharf in central Leeds and finishing in the Albert Dock.

The canal is 127 miles. It passes through Skipton, Burnley, Blackburn and Wigan.

I am a keen paddle boarder but have never done anything like this before.

I am fundraising for Groundwork - a charity mobilising practical community action on poverty and the environment across the UK.
