Amazing paddle along the last of the north Cornwall coast and into Devon today. Incredible cliffs and waterfalls. We turned right at Hartland Point and pulled into the stunning village of Clovelly. Will be on the harbour wall tonight and off at 5.30 tomorrow morning to catch the last of the flood tide. Aiming for Ilfracombe tomorrow and then when we have a weather window, we’ll be making our way across the Bristol Channel.
Blisters and sore backs abound but all the niggles seem manageable at the moment. We may be seeking out a sports massage though in Ilfracombe!
Caroline (Mike’s wife) was so good to us over the weekend with shopping, finding a campsite and even doing some washing for us. Well beyond the call of duty. Thanks Caroline!
The picture is of the harbour at Clovelly. Thanks for all your messages of support. Great to read them at the end of a days paddling.
Fundraising is now at £7,800!

Andy & team. Have just picked up on web site – well done to you all. Looks like hard work but a whole lot of fun. Wish you guys all the best – and calm waters!
Thank Alasdair! Hope all is well with you.
This is becoming addictive! Checking your progress, reading the blog and getting the map out every spare second! Should be on the TV – like Springwatch, X Factor and the Olympics all rolled into one! Hope you athletes soon become completely honed and the blisters and pains fade – keep up the wonderful work guys. Hugs to all with special extra big one to Geoff! Jane & Gary x
Clovelly looks beautiful, you guys are doing an amazing job! Hope all the blisters soon fade and become a distant memory! Haley
Well done! We all think you’re amazing. With all the best wishes from the team at The West of England MS Therapy Centre x
Hello boys (sorry about that, but it’s what we call you around here (”Just going to check on the boys,” we say as we sneak to the computer for another check on progress. Yes, it is addictive!). We just wanted to say a great big Well Done for the journey so far. Amazing! We can only imagine the pain, discomfort and uncertainty of it all – but are full of admiration for your perseverance. Good luck for all that lies ahead, paddle safely. We think of you often. C&KG
We find it so exciting tracking your progress!!! (although we thought we could smell something…..) Very Proud of you All – keep at it!!!!
Hello to all! I have become completely hooked watching your progress! I am also keeping Grandma up to date with your whereabouts (while trying to explain Facebook!) so she can mark it on her giant map. I hope the quest for a decent coffee shop has gone well and you are able to tuck into a big slice of cake soon. Patrick and I got the website up for his parents, I gave a small presentation and they were amazed at how far you’ve travelled and say good luck – they have promised you some pennies when you return. I hope the weather clears up and you have a smooth journey across the channel, good luck from Pat, me and the dogs xxx
