The last of the cumbrian canoeists winter talks.

Fiona is best known as the first woman to successfully circumnavigate Britain and Ireland single-handedly in a kayak. However her enthusiasm has led her to try out many branches of the sport of canoeing and taken her to Israel, Wales, Scotland, Spain, Ireland, Australia, Alaska, and North America. Fiona is a popular speaker and tonight she will share her love for canoeing, her life in the outdoors, and her experiences on many expeditions - in particular her circumnavigation of the British Isles.

5th March 2007 At the Labour Club Hall, central Keswick opposite the Pencil Museum.

6th March 2007 At the Brewery Arts Centre, Kendal.

Hi,

I went to this talk last night and it was very good with loads of fab photographs and stories.

Fiona covered four of her sea kayaking trips:

West coast of OZ
Paddling around Wales
Paddling around Ireland &
Paddling around the UK

It's definitely whetted my appetite to have a go at sea kayaking this summer. Her trip photographs from her trip around Ireland showed the coastline to be so beautiful.

Are there any sea trips / courses planned yet?
