Wedding Weekend!

 Steve and Keri were married in Peel Castle on Saturday afternoon, so Steve and whole scutch of the guests went Coasteering beneath the Castle on Saturday morning... after a social BBQ at the farm on the Friday evening....

 As most of the folk were outdoor professionals, it was an entertaining adventurous, with all sorts of fine antics!

 We had the wedding photographer on the rocks, so i'm imagining his shots will be pretty awesome, in comparison to the ones off the waterproof compact : )

A few pics from the Wedding

Which followed by a sumptuous repast back at Ballabrooie, and the Ceilidh and DJ playing till the early hours in the marquees!!

Sunday morning's Corporate Paddle from Port St Mary. 

 Sheltered from the conditions on the West Coast, ideal for absolute beginners experiencing paddling for the first time, as well as those who have done a bit, learning new things.

Coasteering with Andy

A journey on the South Coast with Andy North..

ps. As i'll be away coaching in Finland for a few days, John, Andy and Gez are looking after things till the Sam, Becca and Kim return from Vancouver Island at the weekend.

Adventures at Niarbyl

 A family sea kayak trip from Niarbyl, on the West Coast of the Isle of Man.

 and an afternoon paddle with the fog rolling over the hills....

 watching the snoozing grey seal at the back of the cave, waves lapping at the rocks nearby

and some awesome cloud formations : )

See you on the water soon.

ps. watching a large Basking Shark further off Peel Castle last night, after finishing our Coasteering session... sightings daily now.

here's a pic I just found from the other family Coasteering session on Wednesday.

Adventures at Peel

Coasteering around Peel Castle early evening yesterday. A really fun journey, and I know the crew are now keen to experience Gorge Scrambling, and one of our more challenging Coasteering routes...

A few pics from the Sunset off Peel last night : ) 

Absolutely stunning!
