I have no idea what a" blue skeleton" is. However here is Helen Skelton and she's currently heading down the amazon river for a UK charity called sports relief. Now I know there's some bickering in the kayak community about "that's not a record" and dude's claiming to have done it in 22hours ( as they type sitting in their underwear eating doritos).I don't know much about the Guinness book, except it has really really fat people in it, and my cousin was in it during the 80's as strongest woman (little useless family info for yah!) And frankly I could care less if she gets a record or not, let's look at the challenge she has set out for herself!! FOR CHARITY!!!
Facts are:
-She's paddled 1,000 miles now in 3 weeks doing up to 75 miles a day.
-She's a cute woman in a kayak ( two of my favorite things in life.)
-She is doing it for a great cause.
I also love the fact that she's not a level 18 master wizard....er I mean kayak instructor. A mere novice. And I think that angers some types of people out there as well. I personally love it.
I for one am applauding her and the charity. Well done so far Ms Skelton!!! 1000miles down only 1000 more to go!
Editors note: Blue skeleton is a kids show. Another great thing. She takes time during paddling to film about the amazon. Who knows maybe she will inspire many kids to get out there in the wild places,protect the wildplaces, and become great eco friendly kayakers of the future.
