Doing 90 in a kayak..

MEET Britain's oldest water sports fan, who can out-paddle fellow kayakers decades younger.

Robin Powell, 90, has been kayaking for 80 years and hits the water three times a week, clocking up 15 miles.

He goes out on the River Severn in all weather and even teaches others much younger than him.

The retired crafts teacher became hooked after his dad bought him a canoe for his 10th birthday in 1944.

Since then, he has never looked back and has kayaked, canoed and rowed on almost every waterway in England and Wales, paddling 70,000 miles.
