You Should Have Been Here Yesterday …

Putsborough Beach and Baggy Point, North Devon

Had a splendid weekend in North Devon, surfing my playboat and watching cheese eating surrender monkeys get trounced at rugby. The titular quote is a classic surfing cliche, made for the benefit of our chums from Kingfisher Canoe Club, who didn’t arrive until this morning and hence missed Saturday’s much bigger surf.

All this sea kayaking has meant that I haven’t been in a playboat for at least a year. My body is now finely tuned for going in a straight line, fairly slowly. It certainly wasn’t tuned for a weekend spent going left, right, up, down at high speed. Hence, I now feel like I’ve been worked over by a baseball bat.

North Devon remains rather nice.

About

Over the past eighteen months I have researched, photographed and written a sea kayaking guide to the South West of England; from the Bristol Channel to the Isle of Wight. I have been using 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.
