Paddle Home From Work, The Last Trip of 2019

A nice high pressure system and an ebbing tide makes for a pleasant paddle home from work. The last day of the year and what a beautiful day.

Flamborough & Bempton, first Outing for the Rockpool Bach Eto

A little weather window on a Sunday, who would believe it?!?.. We were quite undecided if to go for it last night but glad we did, I mean who needs a turkey at this time of year anyway? .... Once at North Landing we unloaded the boats near the old lifeboat station (big thanks to the Emmersons for being so accommodating as usual) then for the next 20 minutes we were transfixed with a pair of Peregrines hunting the pigeons, an amazing sight to see. We pushed north-west into the last couple of hours of flood towards Staple Nook, a bit of a fool around in the arches playing chicken and then an easy run back with the westerly breeze and the very last of the flood in our favour. A real pleasure to be out there, very few holiday makers, easy access and a perfect day to boot....

Open Water SUP Coach Assessment

Just home from assessment day, big thanks to Richard of Mon Active for all of your guidance and instruction. Also a very big well done to my mate and partner in crime Amy who also successfully passed today, she delivered an incredible coached session. Another string to the bow and great fun to boot.

 A bright but cold day on Windermere, the air temperature never raised above freezing in the shadows but we all had great fun. A big thank you to our students who gave up a day to be coached by us, thank you so much Fi, Danny, Pip and Ant.
