More weather


At the end of the summer we headed down to Cornwall with the kayak. Unfortunately we misjudged the strength of the surf while setting off on a beautiful looking trip under the cliffs of Tintagel. We discovered that
  • 2m high surf is too much for us.
  • Lifeguards can be very useful.
  • The locals call our chosen launch spot "the washing machine"
  • A leaking thermorest is a safety critical issue (poor sleep leads to poor decisions)
