Charlie Head is paddling solo the crossing over to Orkney from Shetland. This is the first time anyone has undertaken this challenge.

Charlie is doing this for a cause that he holds dear, raising money for Sea Shepherd. It’s an organisation with a core aim to protect the world’s oceans and marine wildlife.

There’s a fund raising page if you would like to donate to Charlie’s challenge : Charlieheadsup

You can follow Charlie’s journey on his social media page: Charlie Head .

Charlie is aiming to cover 150–180km solo on the open sea. He’s raising awareness for ocean protection and supporting Sea Shepherd Global along the way.
