And I like pints of Guinness / As Billy used to say
It rained so fucking much here / That well drink away the day
– The Bollox

In May of 2011 Harry Whelan, Chris Millington and Jeff Allen will be aiming to beat the record for the fastest 1,000 mile circumnavigation of Ireland which now sits at 33 days.  According to their website, the reason for taking aim at the record is to get around and back before giving in to the temptation of the Guinness after having “sort of” given up the drink recently.  (Um, yeah.. no comment..)  Not everyone knows what kayaks they’ll be paddling yet, but it sounds like most will be opting for Rockpool’s new Taran.  For more information you can visit the Team Expedition Paddler website at www.ExpeditionPaddler.com
