Shoulders of Giants

Northern Isles

I’m glad to say that I’m not completely working in the dark on ‘South West Sea Kayaking’. Two books have already been written for the publisher along the same lines, ‘Scottish Sea Kayaking’ and ‘Welsh Sea Kayaking’. Consulting them for inspiration has saved my sanity on more than one occasion!

The third of Pesda’s British sea kayaking guides is available in print, as of today, ‘The Northern Isles - Orkney and Shetland Sea Kayaking’. I am certainly looking forward to reading this book. I haven’t paddled up that way for over a decade and pretty much all I recall of Orkney is howling wind.. but just the sample chapters make me want to head all the way up there right away! However, I will have to restrain myself for this year at least, as I have rather a lot of work to do here in the south west. In the meantime, the publication of this book means that I will have yet another helpful pointer to make my life easier. Thanks, chaps!

About

During 2006-8 I researched, photographed and wrote a sea kayaking guide to the South West of England; from the Bristol Channel to the Isle of Wight. I have used this blog to keep folk updated as to my progress and to reveal some of the wonderful scenery, culture and wildlife of this little corner of England.
