Get out and Paddle...
The ultimate for the GB sea kayaker. The limited number of paddlers to complete it shows just what a major undertaking it is. To complete this one is an impressive achievement.
The GB Circumnavigator has to contend with committing coastline, demanding tidal flows, busy shipping lanes, cumulative stress and fatigue and challenging weather. It is no surprise that many have to return to daily life before completing the full distance.
While the popularity of this trip continues to grow it must be remembered that this is the most demanding trip, deserving respect. There is potential for serious trouble here.
Please take a look at the 'Notes' pages for further team details
