WEST Ardnamurchan’s 34th Regatta will welcome home a man who will have completed a paddle around mainland Britain in an open canoe.
Ex-police officer Colin Skeath, who now lives in Strontian, and his nephew, Davis Gould-Duff, from Limerick, will just have completed the first round-Britain voyage in an open Canadian canoe, when Colin and wife Katrina are welcomed to the regatta next month.
The two left Strontian in April in a Swift Temagami canoe to travel the 2,500-mile route clockwise round Britain in aid of the Forget Me Not children’s charity, a hospice which supports children with life-shortening conditions and their families.
