George Bullard, 33, spent 74 74 on an inflatable kayak and said he had saved “thousands”. The small yellow and black boat is “blow-up, I can just deflate it and put it in my backpack,” he added. Mr. Bullard, who runs City Camping, paddles on the Lugg River every morning in his office in Presteigne, Wales. “It’s nice not to have to worry about getting stuck in traffic and if I was in a car it would cost me a fortune,” he said. He describes it as a “great way to get to work”, but admits: “It’s very difficult to say I’m getting mixed up”. Image: Mr Bullard says it’s a “great way to get to work”. Photo: William Lailey, Caters News Mr Bullard, who is also an adventurer kayaking in the North Atlantic Ocean from Greenland to Scotland, said he would “encourage everyone to find different ways to get to work and leave public transport and cars”. . “I paddle back and forth like any normal commuter,” he continued. “Occasionally the weather is not good, but I guess that’s an integral part of being an adventurer. Sometimes going to work and getting wet can be encouraging. “Whether it’s walking, cycling, skating or scooting, it’s so good for your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.” Kayaking at work is not for everyone, however, and Mr. Bullard warns beginners not to do it. “It takes a lot of experience to be able to do that. The river is extremely dangerous and you should not enter without a qualified instructor.”
