PSK 1000 Islands Challenge


For 2024 the 1000 Islands Challenge continues with the successful format from 2023.

The original idea remains - choose an island, paddle around it, send us the GPS track.
You get points for each km around the island.
The larger the island the more points you get.
And if you paddle an island new to the challenge, you get a (large) bonus.
Simple.


For 2024 the Points awarded remain as:
  • Any island -- 1 pt per km + 30% bonus (rounded to nearest whole point)
  • New islands -- 1 pt per km + 100% bonus
  • Details Here
While we passed the 1000 islands mark in 2023, let's see if we can go on to reach 2000...

PSK 1000 Islands Challenge - 2024 - Info

Update for 2024

  • Any island -- 1 pt per km + 30% bonus (rounded to nearest whole point)
  • New islands -- 1 pt per km + 100% bonus

Format

  • This is a collaborative challenge, please enter into the spirit of things.
  • Open to Solo paddlers, Teams and K2/Doubles. Paddlers are recorded individually.
  • Circumnavs may be single or multi-day. But are to be undertaken within a 'continuous trip'.
  • All circumnavs to be recorded on GPS.
  • Points are allocated for the distance around each island (see below).
  • Any island is to be circumnavigated with a distinct full-lap circumnavigation which completes at the start point for that island lap.
  • For multiple-islands in one trip: each island must have a distinct full-lap circumnav before moving onto the next island in order to count. Please paddle all the way around the island before moving on to the next one! (See image below)
  • No portages allowed.
  • For a number of islands encompassed inside one single lap, points will be given for the largest island inside the group only.
  • Smaller islands added on the way around a larger island count only if the larger island is greater than 30 km around.
  • Repeated attempts on an island are fine - they all count for points.
  • Island Challenge paddles are eligible to 'double-up' on other PSK pages i.e. an Isle of Wight Circumnav can be submitted for both Islands Challenge and Isle of Wight Circumnav pages.
  • UK Mainland and Ireland circumnavs are excluded.
  • No entries from paddles within organised events
