Evening Paddle - light

 Amazing light for this Evening's Paddle from Peel, on the west coast of the Isle of Man.
 Karen and a group of girls from Warehouse Fitness, came for an adventure on the water...
 ...with the strapline - 'be part of something amazing' ... I hope we exceeded your expectations : )
 Really good to meet you. Hope we'll be seeing you again soon.

Gorge Scrambling - today

Headed off Gorge Scrambling today with Jane, Dan, Ben and Alice...
 ...if your having to use your hands, as well as your feet, then you are indeed 'scrambling' : )
 I watched an increase in confidence and ability from start to finish, as well as a lot of laughs!
 Thanks for a brilliant experience, and we'll see you again soon : )

Summer Holidays

This weekend was the start of the school 'summer holidays' - really pleased the weather is continuing to give a treat to everyone : )

Sunday Sea Kayaking

 Sunday morning's sea kayaking from Port Erin beach, headed south through the tunnel cave, in close to the coast, stopping for a break on a secluded beach, before returning...
 The afternoon sea kayaking split into the Adventure Club training session, led by George who made use of the conditions at the Calf Sound, and the beginners sea kayak trip which went north and explored the old Copper Mines at Bradda Head.
 The Sunday evening paddle set out for Port Erin, and voyaged south, avoiding most of the moving water at the Calf to land at Cow Harbour. Seals in abundance!
 A huge scarred male was meandering his way down the coast in front, to just past Aldrick was a warm up to the collection of playful Atlantic Greys at Thousla Rock and the harbour. It was terrific for the group.
 One younger playful pup must have taken quite a shine to Eve, as it trailed her right back to Port Erin bay, nibbling the kayak toggle, swimming alongside and turning over to show his belly... amazing!
Another brilliant day on the water, thanks to everyone : )

baby Basking Shark

Yesterday afternoon's young adventurers sea kayak trip from Peel headed South, and after paddling past small groups of puffins (amongst large groups of Razorbills and Guillemots) and a large Atlantic Grey seal, a small Basking Shark feeding close inshore, swam through as well! : )
 The young folk were delighted! We then paddled on, looking into the crystal clear depths and the sea life below the kayaks...


 Physio's Evening Paddle 

A delightful relaxed sea kayak trip, watching the wildlife and enjoying the amazing weather : )
 Plenty of puffins around still, and watching then at the burrow entrances, basking in the evening sunlight...
