Ben’s journey began with a challenge: build a canoe from donated materials and navigate 150 miles from the River Thames’ source to London in support of charity. The build took three days and the adventure went viral, gaining over 100 million views. Now, with a community of over 600k followers and over 180 million views in 2024, Ben is on a mission to inspire his audience to make, restore and explore.
Ben will bring the MK1 and MK2 ‘Pedal Paddle’ boats along to Makers Central.
