Welcome to the home of Big 5 Kayak Challenge.
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 Big5
- The Isle of Wight, 85 miles, round it and back – COMPLETED SEPT 08
- The length of Thames, during arctic conditions – 183 miles in 36 hours! – COMPLETED FEB 09
- The English Channel, dodging ferries, 30 miles open sea – COMPLETED APRIL 09
- The Scilly Isles from Lands End – 30 miles open sea – COMPLETED MAY 09
- The Inside Passage - Vancouver to Alaska – 1000 miles, avoiding orcas and bears - DUE JUNE 09...COMING VERY SOON
The "Why Not" attitude runs deep in the team and the idea of raising £25K for Muscle Help Foundation seemed obvious. We also wanted to raise awareness for the River Access Campaign (its time to let us paddle more than 3% of English and Welsh rivers!!)
So enough from us. To enable us to raise the funds we need sponsorship (check out the Just Giving Pages). We also need company sponsorship in return for high profile PR and media coverage. Don't sit there and think you can't help. We need your help, spread the word, register your details and encourage your friends and colleagues to support us.
We are picking up the tab for our expedition costs so all the funds raised go directly to the charity.
Thanks
Team Big5 Kayak Challenge
