 I managed to to get out of the office for a few hours today with Jamie on The Parrett and The Yeo up in Langport.  A slightly cloudy start turned into a very sunny afternoon and when we got out of the wind it felt almost warm.

The next few weeks will be me preparing to return to the life of an Outdoor Instructor. Today was all about getting out on the water locally with Hannah on the new Wet and High Adventures SUPs from Freshwater Bay Paddle Co and trying to remember how to paddle

Working with Carly and Fraser on an Intro to Stand Up Paddleboard course down on the canal in Bridgwater using teh Wet and High Adventures Ltd new fleet of SUP;s

After a morning of admin, I headed to Sennen for a surf with the SUP. I was in the water for a few hours and had one of the biggest wipeouts I have had for some time. Complete nose dive with a 10' 6" board. Fortunately it is inflatable so the collision I had with it was no great deal. The water clarity was amazing and a number of times I tried to swim down to the bottom that I could see so clearly but the leash stopped me short. With 40 mins left on the parking ticket, I popped round to the crag and soloed a route I had not done before. Seniors Route (Diff) was a nice little number to climb on sight and I got back to the vehicle with 8 minutes to spare. To be honest I now regret not putting another hour on and doing a few more of the low grade routes but as the aim for the day was a surf, even 1 route was a bonus.
