This is the first post of many hopefully!!
If you haven't guessed what this site is about then there is no hope for you my friend!!
The plan is for 2 teenagers (myself Kevin Alsey and Alex Grassick) who need their heads examined to embark on a small journey from one end of the country to the other, from Ripon in North Yorkshire to London, somewhere down south I think.
Now the method of transport is an unusual and relatively slow way of getting there. We have chosen to squeeze ourselves into tiny boats called kayaks and using the natural and environmentally friendly propulsion of paddles, we will paddle down to London!
Oh yes and to top it all off we are doing this for charity!! We are going to raise money for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and hope to raise about £1000. If we go over this we shall be thrilled!
The reason we have chosen the RNLI is quite simple. I am a volunteer crewmember on the lifeboat at Blyth and my friend Alex is hoping to join the lifeboat crew in Plymouth next year.
Since we both have a interest in the RNLI we decided we should raise some money for them too.
At the moment the trip is in the planning stage. A lot of work is being put into this to make sure it is a success but also to make sure it'll be damm good fun too!!
Well this concludes the first post of this blog, hopefully many more will follow soon!!

Mad??? Yes, but its nice to see two teenagers doing something for a worthwhile cause instead of standing on a street corner waiting for their Gyro day. Good on yer lads and good luck.
