Paddling in Circles – UK & Ireland Circumnavigation. - Book


Background poster
Congratulation to Sean Morley on completing this wonderful book Paddling in Circles – UK & Ireland Circumnavigation

The book is an account of the first solo circumnavigation of the UK and Ireland and the first ever to include all the inhabited islands. The 4,500 mile, 183 day journey remains the longest sea kayak expedition ever undertaken in British waters.

Jim gets a mention in chapter 7
