Never Say Never Again   4 comments

Gwennap Head, Land's End, Cornwall

The sun went down, sinking into the ocean to the west of England’s most westerly point. We were there. It was wonderful.

I’ve now confidently and definitively announced that I’ve finished working on South West Sea Kayaking at least half a dozen times! Every time I dare to stick my head above the parapet and say this, another round of jobs pops up out of the blue. Recent days have seen me putting in some considerable hours reviewing and annotating the page layouts and maps put together by the Pesda team, compiling an index (yawn), scribbling the blurb for the back cover, writing bumf about emergency services, as well as a hundred other little tasks. Pesda have been incredibly busy on the book, I’m frankly amazed by the quality of the work that they’ve produced in a relatively short space of time.

Today Pesda sent it all to the printers. This time, the book really is finished.

Touch wood.

  2. Hi Mark,
    Well done! I’m glad you’ve finished your guide book. As my wife and I, are off for one week in May to the Isles of Scilly, hopefully doing some sea kayaking weather permitting and if we can rent some kayaks, when we get there. We have found your guide ” A Sea Kayakers Guide to the Isles of Scilly” very informative. So we can’t wait to read your book, is it better to order it direct from Pesda in order to get it as soon as it published ?
    We will be camping and the campsite in St. Matins seems pretty good!
    Thanks
    Jean- Pierre & Beryl

  3. Ordering straight from Pesda is your best bet – use this link.

    I wrote that article about Scilly some years ago. Hopefully you’ll find the chapters I’ve put together about Scilly for the book to be a bit more useful.

    Try these people for kayak hire …

  4. Hi Mark,

    I spoke to Chris Peat @ Kayak Scilly is ok, we should be able to do some kayaking, weather permitting.
