Story

From July 1st I'm going to be swimming, kayaking, hiking, crawling, screaming and drinking my way around the Scilly Isles for the RNLI, on a trip organised by Acer UK.

Following an overnight train ride to Penzance, we'll be hitting up St Mary's and slogging our way around the island. The next day we hike across Bryher and - this is the slightly scary part - swim the half-km stretch to Tresco. We then walk and kayak across St Martin's, before battling our way through St Mary's four pubs. Finally, we attack St Agnes (the island, not an actual saint) and do a bit of beach cleaning, before another overnight train home.

Any cash you can spare for the RNLI would be massively appreciated and you can follow our progress with one of them hashtag things, #AcerScillyWalk. Cheers!
