Fellow Travellers #1

Claire at St Ives, Cornwall

My wife Heather has suggested that I introduce readers to those who were good enough to paddle with me last year during my south west research. This was a more grinding experience than might be imagined; these folk had to put up with endless deviations and diversions, stops and starts and also, “Hang on …”s whilst I fumbled with the camera. But here goes then, in the coming weeks I’ll try to do justice to as many of those who helped me last year as possible.

nb. If you are a stalker, please skip this, and all subsequent related blog posts.

First up is Claire.

Claire is a senior bod of some description in medical management. Being tragically afflicted with workaholicism, she doesn’t get out to play often enough in her spangly Rockpool kayak. However, she skipped work and joined Heather and I for a week at the end of summer holidays. Claire somehow managed to arrive along with some of the best weather (and scenery) of the whole holiday, and was there when we completed what was officially judged to be the Best Day-trip Ever. Claire also participated in our extended survey of Cornwall’s chip shops, judging those of St Ives to win hands down. Cheers, Claire.

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.
