Just a glimpse of the peaceful and contemplative side of stand-up paddle-boarding. This is my friend and neighbour Søren on our evening paddle down the River Brent. On this trip I saw a kingfisher, a whirring of red and blue low and fast right in front of me. I've been in London for a long time now and this is my first ever sighting of one of these glorious little birds. And I attribute that to the paddleboard, no galumphing on foot or in a boat , the quiet and unobtrusive approach on the board

Bill Bailey on Reels

Comedian Bill Bailey suffered a severe allergic reaction as his eyes 'painfully clamped shut' during a 100 mile charity walk in South Downs. Despite not being able to see, Bill completed the final stretch of his journey by gripping onto a walking pole, guided by Sean Lock’s daughter. He rasied nearly £40,000 for MacMillian Cancer Support. | Exploring GB
