I am putting a rather strange kayaking trip together called Kayak Coast 2 Coast. The trip will start on the 14th of March 2009 near Crosby at the Mouth of the Mersey Estuary. At Runcorn we will join the Bridgewater canal and at end the of the first day we will finish at Preston Brook. As we continue we will follow a historic trading route through Manchester along The Rochdale Canal and the Calder Navigations across the Pennines before reaching the Humber Estuary at Goole. On the Humber the route passes Hull and after 8 days, over 150 locks and 182 miles, finishes at the historic lifeboat community at Spurn Head on the North Sea Coast. Along the way we will be raising money for the RNLI via our charity page http://www.justgiving.com/kayakcoast2coast More information can be found at http://kayakcoast2coast.blogspot.com/ Most sea kayak voyages take place in wild places far from our homes, often in different countries sometimes on the other side of the world. Running a close parallel to the walkers / cyclists 'Trans-Pennine Trail', our journey will pass right through the very cities and suburbs from which we, and thousands of other outdoor enthusiasts seek escape every weekend. There will be a very low carbon footprint for our trip. Hope this is of interest! Jimski
