Fellow Travellers #2

Liz on Steep Holm island, Somerset

Second in the mug’s gallery of paddlers who have joined us in the south west this year, is Liz. Liz has letters after her name (ooh, get her) but wears her learning lightly. Liz only first got into the salty side of kayaking this year, and has joined us on a doomed attempt to round Portland Bill as well as more successful trips to the Holm Islands and Purbeck. She has also flown up to the Outer Hebrides for a weeks’ sea paddling, so must have caught the bug.

Despite being an experienced white water paddler who has survived all sorts of scary things on rivers, Liz managed to hospitalise herself during an otherwise sedate sea kayaking trip, by tripping over a potentially lethal pavement.

    Hi Mark

    I was just having a looking at your blog, nice pictures and loads of good links. Anyway, point being, I paddled with Liz when she was in the outer hebrides (namely, Barra) - tell her I said hello when you see her next will you - thanks.

    Cheers

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.
