October Coaching courses...

... in the warm sunshine from Port Erin Beach today were an absolute delight!



The beginners and improvers split into two groups, the one led by Janet and Neil meandered around the bay, using the natural coastline for skills exercises and progressing their 2* skills.


My group first headed South, then crossed the bay and explored the caverns and arch on the far side, before heading round towards the mines, and catching the other group on their way back.

 

An on the water break of hot blackcurrent and homemade fudge and we were heading back round the steep cliffs, past the 'bits of tat' where the lads are pushing new climbing routes, and then through the arch and back into the bay, the beach soon beneath the kayaks again.



    
Working lunch, before the Intermediates session - which is steadily growing more challenging. The Sound was clean and with spring tides pushing through, made for some exciting excercises!

This weeks forecast is showing light Easterlie winds, so we'll put a few Sea Kayak Trips open to beginners on the website Calendar, tomorrow (Monday's) Evening Paddle should be stunning off Peel.

See you soon
