Summary

No one had ever attempted it before. Yet, as a complete beginner, and a terrified one at that, in April 2018, Fiona set out to see if she could "standup paddleboard" up the west coast of Britain, 800 miles from Land’s End to John O’Groats (LEJOG). 

Having walked and cycled LEJOG the year before, something inexplicably compelled her to see if she could turn her previous adventures into a length of Britain triathlon and set three new world records. Along the way, Fiona was joined by dolphins, paddled 40 miles across the Irish Sea, and battled past whirlpools. 

This inspiring and gripping account shows that no matter what the odds, if you dare to start before you’re ready and keep believing in yourself, anything is possible.

Great Listen

This book is a great listen for anyone who lacks the confidence to do the things they wish they could. Fiona's approach to the challenge should inspire people and proves the only limits you have are those you impose on yourself.
