It's been a while since the last update, a bit too long to be honest so apologies for that.
About a month ago I passed my BCU 2 Star Award so I'm no longer what you call a complete beginner! I'm now practising 3 Star Award techniques and I hope to take that test pretty soon.
I now have a new job with JBT Waste Services so with some new income I can finance the trip a lot easier!!
I'm now a member with the British Canoe Union. With the membership I have sorted out the licences needed to use the inland waterways and the Thames, and also some 3rd party insurance which hopefully we will never have to claim.
Once a date for the trip is confirmed between us(which will be very soon hopefully!) then the very important task of fundraising for the RNLI will take place, since this is the most important aspect of the trip.
Fitness training is going well. I'm keeping up with my regular cycling exercise and attending sessions with the kayak club. In general I'm in good shape and I'll just need to keep at it and slowly build it up.
Thats all for now, and the next update I won't leave it for so long!

Glad to be the first one to add a comment on here. So, it's been almost 2 months since this update. You set on a date yet? How's everything?
Hi Yiwei!
Long time no see mate!
Aye I've been a wee bit busy and I couldn't get the PC to work properly to update the site.
There's still no fixed date for the trip as it's difficult finding 2 weeks where we can both be off, but we'll sort something out
