Westward Ho! adventurer Jack Stevenson has just completed the Celtic Crossing race on a SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) in a time of 7hrs 57mins. This is a race from the Isles of Scilly across the channel to Sennan Cove, Cornwall. The competitors have to cover a distance of over 50k (with tidal flow). That is a lot of paddling!
Only 4 people finished on a SUP, Westward Ho!'s own Jack, being one of them. What spirit and determination, we take our hat off to you Jack, well done.
For more information on the Celtic crossing or if you are crazy enough to want to enter next year, here is more information.
