Kayaking around the UK, unsupported, to raise £1 million for Help4Heroes

Craig Wiffen will soon be on his way around the UK and he needs your support, encouragement and donations now.

It’s a challenge for any experienced kayaker, an almost impossible feat for someone with just a few months of experience. Setting off on May 27th 2011 from Fowey on the South Coast of Cornwall and travelling counter clockwise, the journey itself is some 2200 miles, taking roughly 64 days and averaging 40 miles a day, paddling non stop, across shipping lanes and through some of the fastest tidal waters in the world. Seeing some of the most beautiful coast this country has to offer – it is the expedition of a life time.

Craig will be completely unsupported, paddling through the day, wild camping at night, cooking and eating on beaches and headland as he travels around the UK.  It will be an epic undertaking of physical and mental endurance, through bad weather, exhaustion and loneliness.

Working in conjunction with Northshore Sea Kayaks will enable Craig to have the best of the best in sea kayaks. A custom design, by Mike Nelson, Senior Kayak Designer and Workshop Manager at Northshore, the Kayak will be Craig’s lifeline in the heavy seas he will encounter.

The expedition will be filmed for a documentary as Craig pushes on to the finish line, 2200 miles away.

Godspeed Craig!
