40th Bday mini-expedition

40th Birthday: mini-expedition Sea Kayaking and camping in the Isle of Man

I met Gav whilst ice-climbing in Cogne, Italy just before Christmas and he suggested an idea for his 40th Birthday this May...  a private course.

The lads from Stoke arrived on the Island at 7am on a Monday and were on the water in loaded kayaks by mid-morning, paddling and camping till Friday : )

The team had an eventful few days, with plenty of hot sunshine, rescuing a lucky spaniel as we arrived just after it had fallen off the cliff! Thursday included a Coasteering experience around Peel Castle, and an afternoon wildlife spotting trip and a magic sunset paddle on their last evening : )

Catch you on the water soon

"Just in from a glorious day sea kayaking from Port St Mary in the Isle of Man! Adventure Club training at the Drinking Dragon overfall in the morning, beginners experience in the afternoon and Adults Paddlesport this evening... Blue skies, warm sunshine, great conditions and lots of smiling people : )) admiring the cherry and apple blossom in the orchard last night, it's great to be home! "

Anglesey Symposium

Advanced water training at the Anglesey Sea Kayak Symposium

It was a pleasure as always, coaching at the Anglesey Sea Kayak Symposium weekend and British Canoeing week in early May : ) The large international event runs every May bank holiday, delivering moderate and advanced water coaching and experiences, by a team who understand people and know the local area well : )

Perfect conditions right through the event, with plenty of flow for the tide race / overfalls clinics over the weekend. Then the wind dropped for the Monday full day trips including the magical Skerries, and conditions picked up again nicely for the Advanced Sea Kayak Leader Award training and Sea Kayak Coach training courses running during the week : )

"Great to see everyone, and enjoy challenging paddling and great venues. Travel was supported by Isle of Man Steam Packet Company and also used to market Visit IOM and the Isle of Man Sea Kayak Symposium. A lot of interest : ) "

Looking forward to next one : )
