Last weekend saw the return of The Paddle for Relief. The event is organised annually by Tim Tanton who regularly heads out to Sri Lanka to help victims of the 2004 tsunami. Due to my recent trip to Lanka and the friendly people I met, I was super keen to help raise some money for the charity.
I raised sponsorship to compete in the Saunton to Croyde and back paddle race. I've been enjoying my long distant paddles recently, so thought I'd have a go at this one again. The paddle went well even though there was an awful S wind chop, I finished 1st and won myself some quality prizes from the Board Barn and a meal for two at The Thatch (so the Mrs was happy!)
