Tall Story

Stack near Old Harry Rocks

It’s been some weeks since I touched a boat, so it was pleasant today to get out on the water. We were joined by John Gilmour, whom we haven’t seen since before the summer, when he got a proper job.

Our normally busy local waters were unusually empty and quiet, it being November and all that. We told tall stories of our summer adventures, met a guillemot in its winter plumage, explored the amazing stacks between Swanage and Studland, squeezed through tunnels, planned future trips, huddled in a cave at Old Harry Rocks and finally sipped tea at the best little beach cafe in the world. Then we turned around and did it all over again, in reverse.

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.
