Litter Pick on the River Hull

A most excellent day of people coming together - albiet in groups of 6, spaced apart and launching at various times to clean the River Hull at Beverley. Astonishingly we collected over 100 sacks of rubbish between us. I lead group one upstream, we had it easy by all accounts by the reports that were coming from further down river. Tired and a little humbled at just how generious some folk are at giving up their time to clean up after others. Thats 100 bags or rubbish that are not going to end up in the sea..

A Spring Time Full of SUP Tuition

Its been a very busy few weeks of delivering coached sessions in SUP to amazing people. At the last count I think we've introduced 18 people to the wonderful world of SUP paddling in the last few weeks alone. Its going to be be an amazing year, its so rewarding empowering individuals with the fundamental skills to take them forward in this great paddle sport.

An Evening on the River

A lovely evening to be on the river and this bunch made it just so much more special. Weel to High Eske for a sit on the grass watching the sun getting lower in the sky. Then a blast back, everyone swapping boards, Leia making the race board look easy, Jack powering the Voyager down the river and Tom enjoying a board far shorter and with less volume than he is used to. Just a lovely evening with perfect company..

A Classic Yorkshire Trip

 Launching at South Landing a couple of hours before low water we made our way to Flamborough Head. Very turbulent at the headland but it settled the more north we travelled. Lovely to see the birds back at Staple Nook. Then a return journey on the beginning of the flood. 

Bridlington Bay

 

A very nice paddle down into Bridlington for coffee and cake, a little bit of simple small surf fun, out to the Flamborough inner buoy, then back to the landing for lots of rescues, rolling and general tomfoolery. It was needed and it felt good. Cadet Lewis even bought me a beer at the Dog and Duck, Flamborough, nice to return to a beer garden and this is one of our favourites. All in all not a bad day..

A most excellent morning back on the sea - its been a while and it showed. Brilliant group, a bit of tomfoolery playing chicken at Brigg End and then back into the bay for some lovely clean surf. Good to be out with my old mucka Dave Adamson again, the guys a legend. Thanks for the images of yours truly Glenn, I'm usually behind the camera.
