Cockleshell Endeavour

🧵This challenge would be huge for anyone, but it’s worth remembering that Steve is registered blind, adding a whole extra level of difficulty to the challenge. They are raising money @theRMcharity Show your support & donate via justgiving.com/fundraising/c… #royalmarines #Falklands

🧵Yesterday they completed their penultimate sea paddle, and their last sea kayak tomorrow will be to Barrow. After that they will relocate to Lancaster canal. Mick & Steve are travelling 650m, mainly by kayak to mark 40th since the #Falklands conflict in which they both served. – at East, England

🧵 Mick and Steve have had day in camp today due to bad weather, but they had quite a walk on Wednesday, yomping from Seascale to Ravensglass. #falklands #falklands40 #kayak #royalmarines – at Kelvedon, East

🧵 Following the order to abandon ship, Adam was taken on board HMS Arrow. In part of our series of interviews we have done with people directly involved in the conflict, Adam describes being onboard HMS Sheffield and what happened after it was hit. youtu.be/w0iysVzpZgw – at East, England

Another great day of kayaking for Mick and Steve as they continue on their mission to kayak 650 miles down the length of the UK to mark 40 years since the Falklands War, a conflict in which they both served. Here they are leaving Whitehaven on route to Seascale. #royalmarines – at Kelvedon, East

After a few days of walking, and a bit of maintenance on the kayak, it was back on the water for Mick and Steve today. They started their day at Maidens and have headed towards Girvan before arriving in Ballantrae 🛶🛶 #falklands40 #kayak #royalmarines #veterans – at Ballantrae, Scotland

The winds have been too strong to kayak for the last few days, but that hasn’t stopped Mick & Steve. In true Royal Marine style they have yomped over the last few days to keep them on track for the rest of their journey; today ten miles from Ayr to Culzean Castle. #Falklands40 – at Ayr, Scotland

After a few days unable to kayak due to bad weather, Mick and Steve are back on the water again. Here they are leaving Tarbert at 1pm today and the support crew have just reported back that they have just arrived in Kames on the Isle of Bute. #FalklandsWar #falklands – at Kelvedon, East

Another great day of paddling for Mick & Steve. They’ve made it to Crinan after an absolutely awesome paddle past the Corryvreckan Whirlpool. #Falklands #falklands40 #royalmarines #veterans – at Crinan, Scotland

Today they are passing one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the British isles ‘Gulf of Corryvreckan' 😬 so that should keep them out of mischief 😊 #Falklands40 #Falklands #royalmarines #veterans – at Oban, Scotland
