Cathal McCosker and Leon Harris circumnavigated 1200 miles of Ireland’s wild coastline in 67 days by sea kayak. On route, he survived 40-foot waves, dangerous tides that could have dragged him out to sea, and jellyfish stings which left him in much pain. He and his friend Leon made this perilous journey with minimal equipment and no coastguard contact. They made it into the Guinness Book of Records in the process. This book records their exciting, and often hair-raising adventure, with humour and courage.
“A bold journey that stretched this duo to the physical limits - but they gained so much more in return...” – Bear Grylls.
“This is a must-read book. It’s funny, it's true and it will make you laugh!” – Martin Clunes.
“Dangerous - a must-read.” – Rory Bremner
At university, Cathal McCosker was taken on a rather exciting paddle out to sea, returning by R.N.L.I. helicopter.
He’s taught at Eton, Cothill and in Cape Town. He’s led many expeditions with his pupils, and nearly froze on Snowdon in winter when he forgot his sleeping bag! He believes life is an adventure - in a kayak or sitting at a desk or in the pub, anything can happen. He’s also paddled around Corsica, Scotland and Pembrokeshire.
He lives in the country with his wife, children and three dogs.
