Learn about what this challenge meant to Fiona during her chat, Ignore the Fear With Fiona Quinn, live on Zoom and on Facebook at 8pm on Thursday 15th April.
Who Is Fiona Quinn?
Fiona is the first woman to complete a length of Britain on an inflatable paddleboard in which she paddled from Lands’ End to John O’Groats.

What Will The Chat Be About?
During this chat, Fiona will talk about how she overcame her fear of the ocean as she travelled the 40 miles across the Irish Sea and was joined by dolphins (sounds amazing!), battled whirlpools and eventually covered 800 miles up the whole length of Britain. Fiona will also share how she overcame many obstacles to realise her ambition to undertake this feat of endurance, what she learnt along the way and how she developed a love of stand up paddleboarding.
This inspiring talk will be live on Zoom and on Facebook at 8pm on Thursday 15th April.
