Story

Please help me to raise funds for the RNLI.

2 men, one channel. Weymouth to Amsterdam in 14 days.

I will be kayaking from Weymouth to Amsterdam on the 6th of August, with James Donovan, to raise money in my dad’s memory for his favourite charity - the RNLI.

The trip is just over 400 miles and each day we will be averaging about 30 miles, 2 pints of larger and a packet of noodles.

It's just me and James, without support vehicles or help crossing the channel, other than our quick wit, easy charm and good looks.

The original idea was to kayak from Weymouth to Land’s End, Cornwall but, after a couple of whiskeys James realised that Amsterdam was only twice the distance and the plan was set!

I’ll be posting updates daily on my Instagram – MrPearceee
