The Farne Islands

Always one of our favourite trips, we try to visit the Farnes every year. We had quite a good weather window and of course some very big tides, the ingredients for a great trip.

Fiona and myself launched from the beach near Bamburgh at low water and made our way out to the islands.

As we pulled up to the lighthouse for a rest stop we noticed other paddlers coming towards Us.

It was some of our Border friends so we all continued our journey together.

It turned out to be a lovely day and always a pleasure to catch up with our paddling friends. 

While making our way back across the inner sound we had the pleasure to bump into the Around Britain by Canoe lads - a totally awe inspiring journey they are undertaking..
