As some of you already know, my crazy friends and I completed the mourne wall last year and came up with our next challenge for 2020 - Paddling the length of the river Bann from Gilford to Coleraine (75miles) on a stand up paddle board. 

Considering few of us had ever set foot on a paddleboard before last October, we have a long way to go. Iain McCarthy @SUPhubNI has been teaching us the skills and techniques for SUP on the Irish Sea in Bangor and Fergus McGivern @Force7gym in Lisburn has been getting us fit shape to improve our endurance and strength for the challenge.

We are hoping to complete the event in 2 days with  camp overnight at Lough Neagh so feel free to come cheer us on or if you want to join the crew, let me know!
