Coast to Coast with Gee Jackson: Part 1
Written by Lydia Burdett /

Ralph Waldo Emerson famously wrote: “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” So, stick with me on this one, because never have I felt this so strongly throughout my life than when I solo paddled 268km coast to coast along England’s incredible canals and rivers in just 5 days. With practically zero training (do as I say, not as I do!), and on a borrowed sample board I’d only ever used once.
