Coast to Coast Paddle 2026
Paddleboarding across the coast of England
In May 2026, I set off on a gruelling 162-mile coast-to-coast paddleboarding challenge. I followed the UK’s first Coast-to-Coast Canoe Trail, which stretches from Liverpool in the west to Goole on the Humber Estuary and follows the 127-mile Leeds & Liverpool Canal and 35 miles along the Aire & Calder Navigation through Yorkshire.
