LSKC are hosting Edinburgh born paddler Mark Agnew to talk about his recent achievement in paddling the North West Passage across the top of Arctic Canada in 2 double kayaks. Mark will tell of the personal motivation and challenges this 4 person team overcame: including a real insight into the planning and preparation, kayaking and arctic survival practicalities with some truly stunning pictures. This is a real modern day odyssey told with honesty, imagination and self deprecation. Mark is raising funds for the charity Wilderness Foundation UK, which does sterling work in supporting young people to regain their self esteem through adventurous activities – come and be inspired, and help Mark do the same for young people.
Mark, with characteristic modesty, emailed today…
