Simon's week
Talking to BBC Radio Shropshire's Chris Ashley, Simon revealed that it had been a tough week. Despite calm seas, it took 18 hours of paddling on Monday to get from Holyhead to Dublin.

Then the weather closed in. Gales up to Force 9 meant that even short distances required hard work and some careful paddling.

By Friday, Simon was feeling very tired, but had reached Wexford
on the south east corner of Ireland.
