We received our last two kayaks last night, supplied by South Coast Canoes, and three of us went for an evening paddle in Lymington River, it was very quiet, flat and cool after a hot day and the sunset was amazing to watch on the water line! we will be going out on a more regular basis from now until we do the challenge and are always looking for sponsors, contact us for more details. All of our sponsors are listed on our website www.themusketeers.co.uk/sponsors

New Kayaks meet Old Harry!

We had a great day out training on Saturday with Jonny Ray from South Coast Canoes, started at Bramble Bush Bay, paddled round to studland where we practised rescues, then onto Old Harry Rocks for lunch before heading across Swanage Bay, covered about 10miles in total. Weather was excellent, the new Kayaks where great, kindly supplied by South Coast and sponsored by Rawlins Davy and Modulek Ltd, just need to get out on the water more, the round the island challenge at 65 miles is a bit more than the 10 miles we just paddled! We still have two more kayaks requiring sponsors, get in touch with us for more info. www.themusketeers.co.uk or info@themusketeers.co.uk or you can sponsor us on the Cancer Research Uk giving page, or just click on the donate button on the website.
