My last sea paddle of 2006 was right here on my local coast; I live in Corfe Castle, Dorset and conveniently enough, I am surrounded by some of the finest coastal landscapes in Britain. Don’t take my word for it, it’s a World Heritage Site!
I was joined by two members of the Swanage Lifeboat crew; useful people to be on the right side of! John Gilmour is a teacher like me. He’s only recently got into the sport…can you tell?
I have paddled this trip dozens of times, but always spot something different each time. On this day, the little waterfall just east of Kimmeridge Bay was flowing well.
We paddled from Swanage to Kimmeridge in great weather, despite dense fog on the previous day. This seemed like a good omen for 2007. Unfortunately, since then the wind hasn’t dropped below Force 13 in three weeks!
You bastard, thankfully the photo is blurred!
Like the blog, looking forward to following your progress and hope to be with you as much as possible (in a real and not virtual sense)
John
