A man who is currently paddleboarding around mainland Britain in an attempt to set the first record for doing so is set to pass Dawlish on Monday 13 September.

Brendon Prince started his journey at Torre Abbey Sands in Torquay on 27 April this year at 11am, and has been paddling clockwise around the UK since then.

On Monday, he will pass Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth, then Dawlish. On Tuesday, he will paddle past Teignmouth en route to his starting point.
