• 
  
• 2014 we had registered over 30 kayakers willing to take part but unfortunately the weather stopped us on the original date we had planned so after rescheduling (and team members having other commitments) we ended up with approx 18 of us completing the task in around 10 hours with various stops along the way including  burgers and sausages on Hilbre Island courtesy of the rangers cottage, The Bunk House.

• Kayak team has grown considerably since my first journey with just two friends from Snowdonia to West Kirby in 2011
