Today two 22year old lads, set off from Mersea Island on their adventure to circumnavigate Britain in a tandem sea kayak.
They will be relying only on natural elements to complete the challenge. Using the tides and currents as well as specially designed power kites to harness the winds power they estimate this will take three to four months.
They are doing all this to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

Good luck Russell (Scrat) and Aaron (Kiwi) . We look forward to welcoming you on your return.
Salty kisses,
