An amazing challenge, in fairness.
A great cause, to be fair.

Two lads – Pearse O’Toole (Up Spiddal!) and Ruairí Leddy (Cmon’ Roscommon!) – are canoeing around Ireland….AROUND THE ENTIRE island – in aid of Console, Ireland’s National Suicide charity, starting on 24th July from Galway. Any support and awareness you can raise, much appreciated.
Meanwhile….

I saw your post about Kayak for Console and thought I should mention a duo currently out on the water doing the same trek.
Jon Hynes (top left) and Sean Cahill (right) set out on the 16th June from the Old Head of Kinsale to paddle around Ireland. They are currently almost home (Wexford) having braved mountainous seas and weather.
They are raising money for the Cappanalea Centre down in Kerry to allow them to install a hoist for wheelchair access to canoes and kayaks. They are documenting the whole adventure on facebook [link below]. Above is the lads squeezing through Diarmuid and Grainne’s Rock at Loop Head. Co. Clare…

Didn’t watch vid but fair play. Looks like a bit of fun.
Tough challenge. A mile in a kayak would wreck most people.
I met Pearse in Zambia while he was there working with children in a quite remote community – sound lad who genuinely cares about other people and puts his money where his mouth is. Good luck to you both
Jon Hynes one of the soundest blokes I’ve met fair play!!
if u ever want some sea kayaking lessons he’s the man
