Anything’s possible, say kayakers

A GROUP of five veterans has become the first adaptive team to kayak from Land’s End to John O’Groats, raising more than £100,000 for charity.

The Kayak 4 Heroes team, who all have life-changing injuries, took just 26 days to complete their challenge in aid of the Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team.

They paddled a total of 1,400km – hitting speeds of up to 24km per hour, with their longest day seeing them cover 95km.

Expedition leader Darren Edwards, from Shropshire, said: “By working together, we proved that disability and injury has no bearing on the goals you can set yourself.”
