At 1pm on the 16th July 2011, three experienced sea kayakers and adventurers set off on their attempt to be the first people to kayak across the North Sea, from Scotland to Norway.

Patrick Winterton, Ollie Hicks and Mick Berwick are attempting to make the first ever kayak crossing from Scotland to Norway following in the wake of the Shetland Bus heroes of world war two. Norwegian fishermen who made repeated crossings of the North Sea in the worst conditions to ferry arms and undercover agents into, German occuppied, Norway and smuggle refugees out.

They aim to raise in excess of £15000 for the RNLI and The Make a Wish Foundation.
