After adventurer, author and former soldier Jordan Wylie rowed solo, unsupported and unarmed across the most dangerous body of water on the planet - the pirate-infested Bab-el-Mandeb Strait (aka the Gate of Tears) – he described the 13-hour 42-minute voyage, from Djibouti to Yemen and back, as the toughest thing I ve ever done .
And at that point, in 2019, he d done a few tough things – run marathons in Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan, for instance.
Now he s raised the extreme-adventure bar higher still, with a 2,377-kilometre (1,477-mile) paddleboard odyssey around Britain he said was his most challenging expedition yet.

ANYONE afflicted by the cabin fever of lockdown – ie, pretty much everyone reading this – should tune in to Adrian Dunbar s Coastal Ireland tomorrow night on Channel 5 for an hour-long therapeutic dose of the great outdoors.
Filmed last September as travel restrictions eased, this visually stunning two-part travelogue from Belfast s Afro-Mic Productions finds the Co Fermanagh-bred Line of Duty star touring the periphery his homeland from Mizen Head in Co Cork right around to the Mournes in Co Down overlooking Warrenpoint. I m Adrian Dunbar – and it s great to be home, Dunbar advises viewers at the start of his epic 600-mile journey, which sees him freely exploring the coastal sights and attractions we all once took for granted for far too long, as well as enjoying mouth-watering local cuisine and calling in for a good chin-wag with a few old friends along the way.
This had led them to not question the original decision to go into lockdown the day after the UK did, and to simply accept the word of the authorities that their Covid-19 policy was the right one.
The decision to go back into effectively the same lockdown restrictions as before, was based on just four people being tested positive only recently. They were three adults and one teenager and are self- isolating at home.
They are not ill as such. Anyone would think they had something like smallpox or ebola. Because the authorities cannot identify how they caught the virus, they have decided upon a lockdown policy in an effort to stem any further infections. This policy is very questionable.
