Peter Bray has a formidable track record in endurance kayaking and has demonstrated time and again his capacity for surviving everything the elements can pit against him.

Over the years Peter has entered endurance kayaking competitions all over the world and has spent many months in remote locations taking on rivers and seas in one and two-man craft. Apart from innumerable exercises and expeditions Peter has completed the 700km Arctic Canoe Race from the Arctic Circle to the Baltic, is a ten times veteran of the Devizes to Westminster kayak race, has explored the west coast of New Zealand's South Island by kayak, paddled across the Caribbean and paddled 3000 miles around Britain with a partially-sighted friend, raising £53,000 for charity. In fact it was while he was involved in this fundraising marathon that the idea came to him for the North Atlantic Kayak Challenge (NAKC).
