South West Sea Kayaking – Savage Shores   Sea Kayaking in South West England – Britain's Coastal Environment

• South West Sea Kayaking

  

• About this blog

  During 2006-8 I researched, photographed and wrote 'South West Sea Kayaking', a detailed guide to the coasts and islands of South West England; from the Bristol Channel to the Isle of Wight. The second edition was published in April 2011.

  'Savage Shores: Britain's Coastal Environment' is the working title of the book currently being researched and written by my wife Heather and myself for Pesda Press. The book aims to explain the climate, geology, landforms, natural history and human history of the coastal environment to walkers, sea kayakers and others enjoying this wonderful part of Britain's natural heritage.

  This blog is intended to keep you up to date with our progress and adventures in working on the book.
