Introductory sea kayaking with Cherry (her 4th year and great to see her again), Clare, Rich and Phil and Annie. The Menai Straits for the first day, looking for calm waters as strong winds were forecast. Clare below ...
Richard below ...
Annie below ...
Philip below ... and the rain or Mizle ..
Cherry and Britannia Bridge lurking out of the gloom ... Outside edge and forward paddling was the main focus of the days technical skills ...
and a cormorant demonstrating special powers!!
The 2nd day saw us over to the Little Orme, with lighter winds and escaping the ground swell, due to Anglesey and the Great Orme's protection. Stern rudders, forward paddling and an introduction to small swell and gently reflected waves as we rounded the Little Orme, I'll let the photos tell the story ...
The third day was on Llyn Padarn due to another strong wind forecast and a group that was a little tired! Clare and Annie had finished their two days, while Cherry, Philip and Richard continued and Glynis joined us. It was good to see Glynis who I hadn't seen for a couple of years.
Misty start soon cleared, summits came into view and a magic sunny day was had ...
Rich with jacket off, arms out, sun shinning and the summit of Snowdon on the right ....
Big thanks to Cherry for contacting me early in the year to get the course on the calendar and for organising the group.
Next weekend Intro or discover sea kayak course is the 24/25th August and during the week of the 28/29th August and the 8-11th October. Contact info@coastalspirit.com for further details.
