SWSKM 2009 – Cheers All!   5 comments

The weekend was a great success, with plenty of paddlers showing up to enjoy the awesome coasts of south Devon. Many thanks to all who came along and helped, and thanks to the invited speakers, who were simply great! PH Kayaks supplied demo boats and helped out on the water, thanks as well to them. The success of an informal/ad hoc event like this depends entirely on how the invited guests act and behave; the good news is that you were all a real pleasure to have along and meet. I really enjoyed paddling with many of you, please come again!

The Pig’s Nose Inn remains the finest pub on earth (I have two successive hangovers to attest to this fact), but please don’t tell anyone else about its existence. Any pub that features toy shelves must remain a well kept secret …

The paddling conditions were great, with hardly any wind. Saturday saw eerie fog enshrouding the lighthouse of Start Point, whilst Sunday dawned to blazing sunshine and a smooth Atlantic swell.

All good, let’s do it again next year …
