She has paddled past crocodiles, 20-foot anacondas and shoals of piranhas while overcoming blisters, heatstroke and seasickness.Barring a catastrophe the 26-year-old will finish the last 60 miles of her trip after almost six weeks of paddling for 10 hours a day, six days a week on a river often wider than the English Channel.In doing so she will have broken two world records: the longest solo kayak journey record, and the longest kayak by a woman in 24 hours record (75 miles).
She's done it. She's finished. Top work that girl!
She'll surely get a gold badge for that one! 😀
i'd give her something........
You'd have to catch her first!
sterling effort!
So nobody did it earlier. IGMC.
I've been following this, wonderful to see she's made it. I think the crew boat sank at one point too.
Why do people assume that 'paddling past shoals of piranhas' is any more dangerous than paddling past a brown trout? And most Amazonian crocodilians aren't especially dangerous.
Probably written by a stupid lazy journalist.
(well done otherwise though)
Bet she's got a really good stroke now.
Anyway, what I really want to know is how many washing-up liquid bottles and sticky back plastic went into making the kayak.
show's up those celeb monkies doing JOG to Lands end.
She'll be round London pubs in a few days hustling blokes for arm wrestling competitions.
hmm thought i was gonna see some nice pics of her then ahh well 😉
