Jet-skiers set off in charity bid

The jet-skiers hope to complete their journey in 13 days

Three men from Lincolnshire have started a record-breaking attempt to jet-ski around Britain's coastline.

The team of William Watson, Mark Kennedy and Lloyd Sylvester, set off on the challenge from Winthorpe, near Skegness, on Monday morning.

They are aiming to complete the 2,300 mile journey in just 13 days - raising money for Cancer Research and the RNLI.

Mr Watson said the bigger firms had not backed the project, but the local community was very supportive.

He said: "We wrote a thousand letters to major companies and we've actually had a thousand replies of 'No'.

"What I must say is that, the people who've supported us, we're really glad of their help.

"The people of Chapel St Leonards especially - for a small village they have done us very, very proud."
