Facinating Turns

February 9, 2008 on 11:08 am | In Sea Kayaking |

As I am sat here in the office, I am supposed to be working, well, it started as working, I was researching one of the books I am writing at the moment. I was looking at the history of adventure racing and was chasing round the internet to find Anna McCormack who is a professional racer, who I know from when I was racing. I wanted to e-mail her some questions.

It is fascinating to read about her exploits as a professional racer, I then realised I would be able to get her details from Karen Darke.

I can hear you asking where is this all going?

I sea kayaked with Karen, through the John Muir Trust’s Equal Adventure trips to Uist, so my search lead me to be looking at Karen’s web site. I am now sitting with a feeling of awe and inadequacy at what Karen has achieved, in the same breath it leaves me inspired to realise what you can really achieve. Read Karen’s book and I defy you not be be humbled and motivated.
