This weekend sees a mammoth challenge by Isle of Wight cyclist, Tim Wiggins.
He won’t using his bike for this challenge though, instead swapping it for a kayak and making his way around the Isle of Wight in aid of Island charity, the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust.
Tim says that in the last few months his training has evolved and developed to embrace the upcoming challenge.
After re-joining the Sea Scouts, as an Assistant Section Leader, he’s been able to have other instructors to paddle with and improve his technique. His confidence has grown and the distances lengthened on every outing.
