The Menai Challenge is an open time trial for sea kayakers and is the brainchild of local paddler John Willacy. The standard course runs between the slipway at Gallows Point south of Beaumaris and the slipway near to the Anglesey Sea Zoo across the water from Caernarfon. The advanced course runs between the same points but includes a return lap of The Swellies.
At no point did I believe that I would break any records but I was keen to give it a go to see what time I could manage.
In the end I completed the 21km course in a respectable time of
1 hour, 52 minutes and 49 seconds. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoons paddling. Have a look at
the website and give it a go!
