Get out and Paddle...
The Menai Challenge is an informal and self-timed time-trial aimed to encourage paddlers to challenge their performance, skills and fitness over one of two courses within the Menai Straits.
Below are the results for 2011; results are recorded for each attempt rather than on a paddler basis - the more attempts the more your name will appear.
Submit your time: Here
There is a prize draw at the end of each year for all those who have submitted an entry - irrespective of result.
Give it a go if you think you are 'ard 'enuff!
