Episode Synopsis

Jane Hunt catches up with Alex Lewis, a Scottish student who also just happens to be a multi-title stone skimming champion, having won titles around the world. Jane first met Alex in 2018, as part of her travel PR and tourism PR promotion at Catapult PR. Having promoted the All-England stone skimming championships for about 10 years at that point, she soon recognised how Alex's performances on Lake Windermere, in Cumbria, were beyond phenomenal! Jane discovers all that Alex has done in his international stone skimming career since then, what it takes to be a champion stone skimmer and what lies in store in the coming months. She gets to the bottom of which are his favourite places at which to skim stones and his views about the future of stone skimming. And, she also picks up a champion's tips on how the average person should go about skimming stones and the required technique. With so many children having developed a love of skimming stones that has lasted a lifetime, this is an episode that will strike a chord with many, evoking the nostalgia of those wonderful days spent on the riverbank, lake side or beach.
