Ilfracombe to Combe Martin Sea Kayak

Today Olly and I headed out from Ilracombe to Combe Martin and back. After some long trips over the last week we wanted a short trip where we could have a play. After a carefully considered tidal plan done last night we arrived to be faced with a strong Easterly wind that ruined all our hard work. Deciding to go with the tide but into the wind we had a hard paddle to Combe Martin seeking respite in Watermouth Cove on the way. Of course once we turned round the wind dropped and we we were against the tide. Nice paddle though and plenty of opportunity to play on the way back.
