We often get to hear about lots of amazing & inspirational stories involving canoeing, but it’s not so often we get to see them...
Back in May, Beeline Britain's Nick Beighton, Tori James, Ian O’Grady & Adam Harmer embarked upon a record breaking navigation; the length of Britain in a straight line, from Land’s End to John O’Groats.
A world first, it took four weeks to complete & involved hiking, cycling – oh, & a 34-hour non-stop kayak for 200km from Land’s End to Pembrokeshire!! Wow...just wow!
So far, the journey has raised an incredible £20,000 for Blesma, a cause especially close to home for team member Nick, who became a double amputee after being blown up in Afghanistan.
Throughout the journey, the team were followed by Ian Burton who has captured the highs & lows in a dramatic, feature-length documentary, As The Crow Flies. The film is being premiered in London at the Royal Geographical Society in Kensington on Friday 28th November.
We’re pretty sure this will be better than any box-office smash you’ve seen but, if you're still not sure, take a look at the trailer below...it says it all!!
