Donation « South West Sea Kayaking

Receipt

I was just reading John Gilmour’s blog – right this moment while I’m sitting on the couch with my feet up (watching Britain’s latest tennis nearly-but-not-quite), the crew of Swanage’s Inshore Lifeboat have launched. I wish them a safe and successful evening, but I don’t envy them.

That reminded me that I haven’t shown you this yet (picture above). The money was raised by those of you who attended my talk on the weekend of the book launch. Thanks to you all, and thanks again to Palm Equipment, Ocean Paddler Magazine and Seacornwall.com who donated some rather lovely prizes for the raffle.

About this blog

During 2006-8 I researched, photographed and wrote 'South West Sea Kayaking', a detailed guide to the coasts and islands of South West England; from the Bristol Channel to the Isle of Wight.

'Savage Shores: Britain's Coastal Environment' is the working title of the book currently being researched and written by my wife Heather and myself for Pesda Press. The book aims to explain the climate, geology, landforms, natural history and human history of the coastal environment to walkers, sea kayakers and others enjoying this wonderful part of Britain's natural heritage.

This blog is intended to keep you up to date with our progress and adventures in working on the book.
