Barry's Challenge


This is Barry Ashdown, known to us as the Studland Safer Neighbourhood Police Officer.
Barry is a keen supporter of the Coastguard and trains with us in case as a Police Officers he is required to go over the cliff. (it helps he is part of the Police ropes team)
Barry is soon to undertake a small challenge:
In his words
" I am going to attempt to kayak across the Irish Sea hopefully on a calm day in June. The distance is roughly 60-70 miles and will take 16+ hours. I will be kayaking with a very good friend James aka 'Moose'. Rainbow Trust is such a worthy charity which I am proud to raise money for. Please give as much as you can and as often as you can as I am aiming to raise £2750 or more! A big big thank you for your support.
Have a read of his websites
We obviously have an interest in Barry's safety so will be keeping an eye on his training and when he sets off.
