Goats, Goats, Goats!


Sea Kayaking with Wild Goats at Laxey


Today was day two of the Youth Development week, designed for students on our Junior Paddlesport skills development program. Sea Kayaking from Laxey beach, passing so many different shades of wild goats, seals lazing round the kayaks, Peregrine Falcons screeching overhead...



 Sea Kayaking Experiences


 The afternoon and evening Sea Kayaking Experiences ran from Laxey beach, exploring the protected coastline, in sunshine and calm conditions.



 Gorge Scrambling Experiences


Monday evening Gorge Scrambling Experience at Ballaglas national glen enjoyed real challenge and progressive skill acquisition, as well as a lot of laughs!!


 Catch you on the water soon : )

Flying downwind!


Adventure Club - Sea Kayak Training 


This morning's Isle of Man Adventure Club Sea Kayaking training session was a downwind run from Port Erin to Peel, with some delightful conditions and a lot of fun!!
Conditions picked up nicely as forecast...


 Arriving at Fenella beach 3 hours after leaving Port Erin beach, including an off the water break at Niarbyl 'tail of rocks' for a hot drink and food : )


Morning & Afternoon Sea Kayaking



Like a few of the Sea Kayaking experiences this summer, we used the first part of the session learning a few basic skills and getting comfortable in the kayaks before heading off to explore the coastline.

Today's experiences included incremental challenge and some liquid sunshine in the afternoon!
Great to have such a spectrum of conditions available to work : )


 It's such a pleasure leading people who really want to get involved, want to learn, embrace challenge and generate a lot of positive energy : ) Not a single capsize either!

Looking forward to tomorrow already!!
