North wales sea kayaking - Winter skills

With the weather looking fairly settled my return to Uk paddling after 50 days, was looking great. With the air temperature being around 7c, it was a significant change from last weeks 25c plus, the fingers felt it, but it was great to be out. Treadour bay on the Saturday, going back over core skills, some rock gardening and moving through the gears.

Sunday, was Rhoscolyn and a forecast of NE F4 gusting F5, well we may have had top end F3, but otherwise another super day. Exploring caves, narrow gullies, using draw strokes and working on ferry glides. A journey out to the beacon and a couple of grey seals basking in the winter sunshine, was and is always a great sight, before returning to the bay. Thanks to Tess, Ruth, Simon and Keith for a super weekend, its all ways great catching up and seeing people progress. Tess your always and inspiration.
