In the 12 months between Anzac Day 2014 and Anzac Day 2015, Huw Kingston plans to circumnavigate the Mediterranean Sea via a combination of sea kayaking, walking, ski touring and mountain biking across 20 countries; a distance of some 15,000km. The expedition is timed to coincide with the Anzac Centenary in 2015; 100 years since the allied landings at Gallipoli in Turkey that resulted in massive loss of life on both sides. This is commemorated each year on Anzac Day, 25th April by Australia, New Zealand and Turkey. Huw plans to kayak away from Anzac Cove at Gallipoli on the day after Anzac Day 2014 and return 12 months later in time for Anzac Day 2015.
During the expedition Huw will be raising much needed funds for Save the Children to assist their work with children caught up in conflict zones across the world.

A Taste of the Mediterranean - Corsica Circumnavigation

In June last year I enjoyed a 600km kayak circumnavigation of the rugged Mediterranean island of Corsica.
It was a magical trip and in some ways a little test for me as to how I might take to the 'Mediterranean life'. That life treated me well! The current (Jan/Feb) issue of Australian Geographic Outdoor magazine has an article on the paddle. You can read it here
