Epic kayak journey to showcase New York
27 Apr 2012
Some of the sights and scenery on offer in the state of New York will be showcased during a 500-mile kayak journey through the region due to begin on 1 May.
Adventurers Richard Harpham and Glenn Charles will begin their challenge at Niagara Falls and head from Buffalo to Albany along the Erie Canal before joining the River Hudson.
The trip will end with the pair passing the Statue of Liberty as they arrive in the New York City borough of Manhattan.
Members of the public will be able to follow the journey on thespareseat.com, which will feature videos, blogs, photos and other information.
Mr Harpham, a British adventurer whose previous expeditions include kayaking the Inside Passage from Seattle to Alaska and cycling from London to Marrakech, said one of the aims of this year's voyage is to encourage people to explore possibilities for adventure in their lives.
'It will also be a fantastic journey across some of New York State's most beautiful scenery and both Glenn and I are looking forward to the challenge,' he added.
