“Six weeks, six days per week, 60 miles per day,” it’s enough to put the fear into any experienced marathon paddler, but Children’s TV presenter, Helen Skelton managed this amazing feat with practically no kayak experience at all and she didn’t capsize once. Raising money and awareness in one of the UK’s biggest fundraising events, Sport Relief, Helen’s achievement may make the history books for the longest solo journey by kayak and the longest distance in a kayak in 24 hours by a woman – both are awaiting a rubber stamp by Guinness.
