RNLI Fundraiser

[Halcyon Yachts]

Hi All,

I will be paddling a canoe down the longest river in Britain. The full story should be announced on the PBO news page today: http://www.pbo.co.uk/

I am hoping to raise lots of money for my favourite charity, The RNLI.

Please show some support, and perhaps be the first to donate:

Many thanks,

When will you be in Bristol? If you reach Lundy you have gone to far.

I am hoping the navigation on this trip wont be too challenging... Thanks for the advice though!

Many Thanks - Your donation is much appreciated!

Hoping to do it in 7 days (gulp). Planning to stop at every pub! (although to be honest there aren't that many, so we'll have to enjoy the ones we do pass).

let us know how you get on, pics if you can? nothing better looking at someone else's wet journey from an armchair. enjoy.

Yes, it is a downhill trip... But I don't think there's too much current in the lower stages. Too many locks!

Choose your date and tide carefully. Would be a bummer to meet a tidal bore coming the other way.
