Here’s a video from Rab of Tom Randall on his epic adventure to run 142 kilometres, climb 42 mountains and complete 15 classic Lakeland climbs (solo) in under 24 hours. This achievement makes my 63 kilometres (which took me 10 hours) on the 2026 winter solstice look paltry but, as Randall says, the process is the pursuit.
While I manage to get between one and three people out for my Sunday paddles, Wildey got 11, 10 of whom were men! It was the calmest day I’ve paddled in a long time and the only day I didn’t see any dolphins! We lapped around the Tollgate Islands, where there were four female and one much larger male seal hanging out completely undisturbed by humans.
Anyway, with only 9% of the paddling pod being female, I thought I should start an equity campaign to get more women involved but I’m not sure how to go about it. There must be a government grant I can get which would fund a committee to look into an equity program. Failing that, the men will have to start dressing as women, which, is increasingly popular so possibly that would be the easier option.
