PROPOSED SEA MARATHON FOR I.C.A.N.Please could you sponsor or film this?

2015 - 2016

£250 reward to help find land for I.C.A.N. Details follow here.

September 2016

Last April I was within four days of setting off on my latest attempt to repeat my 1986 marathon Greek canoe journey when I developed Torticollis. Basically this is a paralysed neck but in fact very much more. If you look up a website about Torticollis you can find out exactly what it is. I could hardly walk across the road or sleep. It was probably due to a whiplash car crash. So therefore I had to cancel the trip for the seventh successive year. I do not intend to give up and hope to try again in 2017 to promote I.C.A.N. I will keep you posted.

Local BBC tv featured me preparing for my Greek journey. Totnes, April 2015.

I.C.A.N display in the background.

December 2015 - told BBC I would contact them about latest details when they happen.

Canoe in Totnes in October 2015. I'm not young but trying to keep fit for my seemingly eternally delayed attempt to repeat my 1986 canoe journey, this time to promote I.C.A.N.

VW T4 van purchased especially to drive to Greece, two canoes on top. I am humiliating myself by repeatedly failing to do this venture despite tremendous efforts. Therefore I'll say no more until it is done. Hopefully 2016.

"THUMBS UP" for a successful future.

Please help find our land that is what this is all about. You could be the one to win £250. Also support the canoe venture, see the following newspaper cutting.

TOTNES TIMES 13th October 2015

£250 Reward

Some of the facts are a bit muddled here with more talk about martial arts and my canoe than about our supporters and camp activities. I can't dictate what papers choose to print, I did my best.

£250 to anybody if we buy land as a result of them telling us about it because this search has gone on for too long, it has become ridiculous. Please can you help? We need land which has at least a small flat area with access to water in some way. No electric pylons or public footpaths over it. Reasonable vehicle access. Not on a flood plain. Preferably not next to a habitation as the occupants may be disturbed and object to our activities.

The land should be agricultural, not building land in the South Devon area between Exeter and Dartmouth. Preferably in the Newton Abbot, Totnes, Dartmouth triangle. East Devon near Sidmouth could also be considered. Some flexibility could be shown in any of the above as this land for I.C.A.N. must be purchased soon. Good luck and thank you. Friar.
