Paddling to raise funds

Raising funds for Willen Hospice

A group from Milton Keynes Canoe Club are attempting the Three Lakes Challenge in September.

The challenge

To paddle the length of the 3 longest lakes in Cumbria, namely: Ullswater, Coniston Water and Windermere, a distance of 35Kms (approximately 22 miles) in just a 10 hour period.

For anyone who thinks this is easy, here are some sobering thoughts.

Each team member will have to make approximately 40,000 paddle strokes, could lose up to 6 pints of liquid in perspiration and may get thumb blisters of up to 3mm in height!
