Story

We enjoy teaching students from all over the world with our current employer (Richmond, the American international University in London), and would simply like to help other students achieve their ambitions. We also are mates and like canoeing and sport challenges, so we thought we would have fun whilst undertaking a worthy cause.

Guinness have given us up to 4 days (July 18-21, 2018) to descend the non-tidal Thames in order to set an official Guinness World Record for a two-person canoe trip.

124.8 miles, 45 locks, rapids (maybe), 157 pubs...

Lechlade to Teddington, two guys, one boat, no hope.
