Croney's Cross Channel Challenge

ITV Granada presenter Paul Crone and colleague Doug Brown will attempt to cross the English Channel in kayaks to raise funds for the North West Air Ambulance.

The intrepid adventureres will row the 75KM across the busy Channel between the 16th and 25th May depending on weather conditions.

Croney will also be carrying out numerous fundraising activities before he sets off in order to help him reach his £15,000 target. You can find out what he's upto here, or give him your support at www.justgiving.com/alloallo

Paul has also been keeping a video diary about his training which is available to view on youtube, however, we've got some clips here just for you...
