The challenges of the 715km Yukon River

The Yukon river lies In the heart of the wilderness, meandering through vast forest-covered mountains and valleys.

35 young paddlers aged 12-17 travelled to spend a week at Holme Pierrepont WW course in Nottingham.

In April 2023, I set off from Qaqortoq in the south of Greenland, intending to paddle solo over 3000km. In 2024 I return to complete the journey.

Each August Bank Holiday weekend, local charity Paddle Peak have run ‘come and try’ kayaking sessions.
