Sea Kayak Award Assessing

Image
Today I was working for Wet and High Adventures Ltd down at Salcombe with Sam who I was assessing for his Sea Kayak Award . We had a great time in warm water, low wind with just enough "wind over tide" to make things interesting at Bolt Head. A large and friendly Barrell Jellyfish cam over to say hello. As part of my development, Rich Uren was there overseeing my assessment so that I can get a recommendation to be a provider in my own right and I am pleased to say he will be making that recommendation to British Canoeing. Well done Sam for a good performance.

Exploratory Coasteer

Image
Another "play day" with Olly today and we headed to Hope Cove to explore the Coasteering potential of Bolts Tail. The pictures say it all really but 1.5km of Coasteering with some pretty awesome caves and an exposed climb out on one of the spurs (last pic). This is a fairly advanced Coasteer (although we had benign conditions) as there is the potential to get into bother in bigger sea states as there are few exit points as you go around the headland.
