Well, 6.30am and about to set off to get ourselves within a few miles of Portscatho.
We have been talking about this 24 hour for the last year I think.
We have had an absolutely amazing experience, made all the better by the incredible support we have had from friends, family and people we have never even met. Will take some time to thank people properly after we finish but for now, if you have sponsored us, made donations, wished us well on the blog or FB or just followed and enjoyed the journey. Thank you so much. You will never quite know how much it has meant to us.
Special thanks and love of course to Tanya and Sue. There were surely four of us paddling out there these last three months.
Portscatho Harbour 2pm Thursday.
Awesome guys! We are so proud of you! We’ve had trouble donating so will try again but May not Reach you until you return.
🙂 your Aussie followers! Xx
Hey Dave, Mich and Thomas!
Great to hear from you. Hope all is well. Will call and catch up at weekend.

Well done Geoff and Andy, what an adventure,
Phil & Diana
I have been waiting for tomorrow for 115 days! So proud of you both. Love you lots like jelly tots Andy, xx
Can’t tell you how proud we all are of you here! So looking forward to having coffee in the staff room and hearing some of the stories first hand. So excited to see you again, but hope you have a wonderful time off with Sue first! Both of you should be proud of what you’ve achieved, what an amazing experience!
We thank you for taking up such an amazing challenge and in turn giving so much to so many ! We have had a very easy and enjoyable ride with you from our computers, laptops, Ipads and phones !!!!! oxxo
Huge congratulations – what a wonderful feeling to know you’ve done it!
I’ve been following online since I heard about your trip back in May when you were all the way back in south Wales, and it’s been an absolute pleasure reading your blog, seeing the photos and having the opportunity to escape out to sea.
I did the same trip two years ago (from Falmouth, though I took a fair while longer than you!) and it has been wonderful reading about your different experiences – getting a new perspective on a constantly changing environment.
The last few miles may get swept up in emotion and adrenaline, so make sure you get a photo or two, as a reminder of how the last few miles feel!
Massive well done, enjoy the last few miles,
Best wishes
James
I have followed your journey with interest since our chance meeting on Seascale sands……
Many Congratulations to you both.
An epic journey never to be forgotten.
Wonderful stories to tell, so many memories and and a wealth of knowledge gained.
I will miss your reports and mapping.
Look forward to the book publishing !
I’m sure you will soon be planning the next trip.
Very best wishes,
John
Congratulations guys. Just seen your story on itv news. 115 days living the dream. A great challenge completed and an inspiration. Hope you enjoy a few cornish ales tonight.
HI Geoff and Andy, it’s a massive CONGRATULATIONS from the Corrigans in NE Scotland. Like John we will miss our daily Kayak check. Best wishes and enjoy the rest. Warmest wishes to you and your families.The Corrigans
Ahhh thanks Helen and the Corrigan Team! Hope you guys come and visit sometime!!
Just so wonderful to know that you are home safe! What an incredible adventure, not only for yourselves, but for us. Everyone who has seen the map and updates on your progress has asked questions and many will have followed you subsequently. We are intending to count the money guests has left in the plastic ‘map holder’ next Friday, the 31st August, and we do hope that there is a respectable sum!!!!!!! Anyway, thank you in so many ways, but particularly for your courage, tenacity, and the wonderful feeling you have given us all of being a small part of something outstanding. All our love from Di, Julian and the staff at THE GARDEN, ST. ANTHONY HEAD. xxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Di and Julian,
Thank you so much. Tanya and I will be over next week for one of your lovely coffees and a slice of cake so we an catch up. Look forward to seeing you!

Hi Andy, by pure chance I got chatting to you down in Fowey and couldn’t quite believe that you had just kayaked all the way round Britain. I did come down to Portscatho and it was a privilege to watch you both finish your long journey. Many congratulations and thanks for the tips on places to visit!
