And so it would seem!
As the training continues on our bikes, I thought it about time that we went down to see the kind people down at Southsea canoe lake, who are kindly allowing us the use of one of their pedalos for our voyage of destiny.
As I got closer to the lake, I could see some Swan shaped pedalos and some in the form of Ducks. I looked around and saw more swans, more ducks, more swans....... Hmmm.
After the staff at the lake all stopped laughing about our ridiculous challenge ahead, adding the odd comment of "You'll never make it..." and "The Solent?!..." I managed to question them as to which of these two beasts would serve us best on our epic journey. It seems the duck was slightly more sturdy than the swan, plus to be honest, the Swan had a bit of a nasty temper and suffered from seasickness.
Therefore, it is with great honour, pride and slight nervousness that I proudly present you with our naval assault vehicle. Forget Lord Nelson with his Victory, Drake with his Golden Hind, I give you.................
Now then imagine two fat blokes battling the tides, container ships and ferries of the Solent, in this! Tell me that's not worth £2 of your money for a great cause.
