Club Marine Magazine article – From the Mountains to the Sea

Photographer Andy Belcher travels ‘From the Mountains to the Sea’ with adventurer Ellis Emmett.

When Ellis invited my companion Annie and I on an 8-day rafting trip From the Mountains to the Sea my first stop was to see my doctor.

The meeting place was Ellis and Sanna’s beautiful lodge in Cheviot. It’s named ‘The Tree House’ for good reason – two huge tree trunks form the centre of the house and everything is built around it. During the evening 22 enthusiastic paddlers gradually assembled at The Tree House. They were of different ages and nationalities, but at the tender age of 70, I was clearly the senior member of the group by far.
