Story

'Bristol Channel Bound'

A stand up paddle boarding challenge from Lundy Island, North Devon to Barry Island, South Wales.

During 2025 I will be stand up paddle boarding from Lundy Island which sits 19KM off the north coast of Devon where the Bristol Channel begins to Barry Island here in South Wales. This challenge will take three days and I will cover approximately 80 nautical miles. I am doing this to raise funds for outdoor equipment at Ysgol y Deri.

As a teacher at Ysgol y Deri and chair of Island SUP Club (a stand up paddle boarding club here on Barry Island) I understand the importance of spending time outside and the impact it has on our health and wellbeing.

Outdoor engagement is incredibly important at Ysgol y Deri and apparatus such as swings, spinners, slides, scooters and bikes really support this engagement and need. With funds raised we will be able to replenish this equipment and continue to develop it.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
