Paddle challenge complete
Neil Pamment, a 53-year-old local cabinet-maker and watersports enthusiast, completed his 14-mile paddleboard challenge in just over four-and-a-quarter hours, including a 20-minute stop at the light-tower.
He is believed to be the first to make the trip successfully, and was accompanied by friends Garry Cairns, on a racing ski and Kris Mullens, on a lifeguard kayak.

Neil’s two daughters, both of whom are lifeguards in Eastbourne, accompanied him in support boats and swam the last mile in to accompany their father.
