News from the Paddlers for Life Windermere Facebook page.
Steady progress further towards the Suez Canal. I hope some of you enjoyed the sunshinewhile you exercised. Our Crowdfunder is currently at £3,240, so we are edging towards our 'stretch' target.

Another 3 miles from me today and 6 hours of decorating...filling and sanding! X
The warmth of the Mediterranean seems a long way from the weather in NW UK today but you have been bold in your activity. Yet the warmth of this ocean water is a good opportunity to stop and reflect.
An hours Pilates and 15 minutes of Kitchen dancing from me today!
We are right into the Mediterranean on our virtual paddle. The weather there is much more conducive to activity than we have locally.
You all seem to be really up for this extended challenge. I hope you are enjoying the activity as much as you are motivated to achieve our goal.
Another 3 miles from me today!!! Work got in the way again!! X
Tomorrow might have a dip in outdoor mileage 💦🌧💦🌧
Your enthusiasm seems unbounded! It is wonderful to see everyone is still committed to the extended target and we have mileage donations from some new supporters. It seems that we are encouraging activity. Our progress on the first day of the outward leg back towards Hawaii has been rapid and we are now off the coast of North Portugal near Porto. We also have donations coming in and have reached £3,170.
Fantastic....I’m certainly more motivated now the weather is on the turn! X
We averaged 880 km per day in the first leg of our Hawaiian Challenge. If we replicated that it would be enough to get us just off the northern coast of Australia heading towards Papua New Guinea in our remaining 22 days. Our 550 km today as taken us into the Celtic Sea again just off Land's End. To circumnavigate the world in the time available we need to increase our activity levels and get more people on the team!
Right then...I really need to pull up my socks’
Great picture Lynne Carter xxx
I've been saving up some miles for you 25 miles running and 16 miles walking along with 3 hours yoga... and donation made too 🐲
one hours aerobics and a 6 mile hike today from me! xx
So we've had a shower, put on more sunblocker and moisturiser. We've treated those blisters, eaten cake and added rations. Now we invite you to stay with us for three more weeks to see how far around the world we can get. Our route takes us past Portugal and Spain into the Mediterranean, through the Suez canal into the Indian Ocean. Then via Oceania into the Pacific and back to Hawaii.
Let’s go ! 😋
Let’s circumnavigate this globe!!! Paddles up!!
No sun block needed here but we Donegal Dragons will be with yee for the next 3 weeks all the way 👊🙌❤️
We've done it! Our Hawaiian Challenge is completed. The last few miles have come in to bring us home to our beautiful Windermere. This is an amazing effort from our members and extended family of supporters. You have been enthusiastic and brilliant in your endeavors to contribute miles to our virtual paddle. Thank you also for raising the money to bring our outrigger canoe to Windermere. The total currently stands at £2,978 plus GiftAid. We love you all.
Such a fantastic effort from friends, members and supporters. Great motivation to go out, even on wet days, and improve fitness by activity. Looking forward to more challenges, on the water in the boat, when we can. Well done all, especially Nick for the Hawaiian challenge. Keep those paddles up and those legs moving. How far will we get?? Sara mentioned circumnavigation of the globe!! How hard can it be??? Sue would be cheering us on!

A quiet day for miles so far, then Southlands High School added their cumulative miles. 1298 km to go. Current ETA is revised to Saturday. If you are aggregating miles over several days it may be better to send them sooner.
