An incredible challenge by a paddelboarding duo around the UK is expected to pass through Largs and Millport.

Dedicated duo David Chant and Sophie Witter are aiming to become the first ever pair to stand up paddleboard from Land’s End to John O’Groats - and this evening are about to reach West Kilbride waters before heading towards Largs.
The 1600km challenge is hoping to raise £24,000 for 3 deserving charities– RNLI, Wilderness Foundation UK and Frontline Children
This expedition will take them on a mixture of sea, rivers and canals across our island nation. 
David said: The journey started from the south westerly point of mainland Britain up the Cornish and Devon coastlines before using the canal network of the Bristol Channel to the Irish Sea. 
"From there, we headed up paddle demanding waters to Scotland, and then we are taking into both the West and East Coast of Scotland using the Caledonian canal to navigate before reaching the north easterly point of Scotland at John O’Groats."
The challenge will be completed without a support boat using land support – this means David and Sophie will be travelling from beach to beach during the expedition, adding another challenging element to the expedition. 
Average distances will be 40km per day weather dependent, and the aim is to finish the challenge in 2-3 months.
The vision is to prove that adventure is open to everyone, and not just for the elite. 
They are also wanting to promote the positivity of getting out into nature and onto the water which, they say, is hugely important to both our physical and mental wellbeing as individuals and society.
