Join us for an inspiring talk with Welsh kayaker Pen Godber, who has set herself a remarkable challenge: to paddle to and camp on 77 islands by the time she turns 78 (end of October 2028).
Pen’s journey celebrates adventure, friendship, and giving back. With each island visit, she donates £10 to Àban, a Scottish charity that introduces young people to outdoor adventure. Her islands range from tiny unnamed dots on Welsh rivers to Shetland, Skye, and the Scillies.
