Testing new Stand-up paddleboard marathon at Symonds Yat

A team of instructors from Stand-up paddleboarding at Ye Old Ferrie Inn (SUPYOFI), braved the snow at the weekend, to test out a new route that avid fundraisers can challenge themselves with in order to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The paddleboarders travelled from Hoarwithy, back to Ye Old Ferrie Inn at Symonds Yat West, on Saturday, February 11th, a distance of 26 miles and 365 yards. They completed their journey in six hours and 34 minutes.

Now that the team have set the standard, Ye Old Ferrie Inn is inviting anyone who is interested to take part in the Stand-up paddleboard marathon in order to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Jamie Hicks, owner of Ye Old Ferrie Inn, told the Ross Gazette that those who want to take part in the challenge need to pay £75 to take part, and 20% of this will go straight to Macmillan Cancer Support. Participants need to then raise a further £50 in sponsorship, for the charity.
