Hi, thanks for visiting our team page

The Big 5 Kayak Challenge is about a small team taking on 5 distinct and unique expeditions, paddling some of the most challenging water on the planet. We are also supporting some great causes.

The first Big 5 Kayak Challenges

The First Big 5 Kayak Challenge involved kayaking 85 miles down Southampton Water and round the Isle of Wight, in Sept 2008 followed by 183 miles in 36 hours paddling the The length of Thames, during arctic conditions in Feb 2009.  The team then paddlled The English Channel, dodging ferries, in April 2009 and then 30 miles to the Isles of Scilly from Lands End in May 2009. We then paddled The Inside Passage in July 2009, 1000 miles fromVancouver to Alaska, avoiding orcas and bears.

Another Big 5 Kayak Challenges

1.  Kayaking Round Malta
2. Canoeing the Yukon
3. John O'Groats to the Orkney Islands, DUE JUNE 2010
4. Scotland to Ireland via Jura and the Corryvreckan, DUE AUGUST 2010
5. London to Marrakesh, cycling and kayaking, DUE SEPTEMBER 2010

We want to raise awareness for the River Access Campaign (its time to let us paddle more than 3% of English and Welsh rivers!!www.riversaccess.org) and are also now ambassadors for the Marine Conservation Society (www.mcsuk.org ) so please donate here

So enough from us. To enable us to raise the funds for the MCS we need sponsorship. We also need company sponsorship in return for high profile PR and media coverage.  Get Involved. We need your help, spread the word, register your details and encourage your friends and colleagues to support us.

Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.

BTW for those booking us for talks, seminars and workshops then we donate at least 50% of all of our fees to our charity.
