34 35 We didn’t want to be the only ones to enjoy your great photos. So here are the rest of our finalists: National Go Canoeing Week 2017 was a great success, with paddlers collectively clocking up 54,633 miles throughout the week, surpassing all our expectations. National Go Canoeing Week 2017; How We Smashed Our Mileage Target! This year we added a new element to the Go Canoeing Week website and you loved it! We gave you the chance to share your paddling fun while uploading your miles and you blew us away with all your fantastic pictures. Three pictures really stood out but we had one clear winner; Phil Lyon with his ‘Dads and Lads Trip’. Phil won a Go-Pro camera and you can see his photo above. Hundreds of photos were uploaded and we then had the fun task of sifting through them to pick our favourites. We chose twenty-two photos to go through to the final and then asked all staff members at British Canoeing to vote for their favourite.
