Slowly down the Ganges - Spike Reid
After starting at its glacial source high in the Himalayas, Spike became the first person to ever descend the River Ganges by stand-up paddleboard a few years ago. Over 450million people live in the river basin and it is known to Hindus as the River of Life, but is facing huge challenges as the most polluted major river in the world. Spike undertook this tough 3,000km journey to raise awareness for the excessive single use plastic that goes into the Ganges and other waterways.
