Espen creates a path of less resistance

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Espen creates a path of less friction for the kayak using a collection of wooden poles and planks, which he lays out from the top of the bank in the garden, giving himself a gravity assist from the start. He also ties a rope to a tree and lays that out along the path so that, when the kayak stops sliding under gravity, he can pull it still further, across the lawn. He manages to travel a total distance of 22m.
