Well the run up to this trip was a busy one and worrying, whilst looking at the weather forecasts and low pressures that seemed to dominate the SW of England. As always the weather was not the best accurate and we had a week of good weather with sun and light winds on most days and when it rained it was during the evenings whilst tucked up in our sleeping bags and under canvas. The trip was led by good friend Nick Arding and myself taking seven clients out to discover the wonders of the Scillies. Over the week we visited a host of islands including Tresco, St Martins, Bryher, Samson, Agnes, the Eastern Isles and St Marys.
This week we witnessed big tides, even enabling some brave souls to walk from island to island. These tides provided great playspots for rock hopping, tide races and even some interesting swell on the fringes. During our stay on these magical islands we joined in with the relaxed way of life and whilst out on the Eastern Isles a couple of clients swam with the seals.
My thanks to Nick for joining the trip and helping out in the coaching and guiding and thanks to all the group for being such a great bunch to share such a fantastic environment to sea kayak.
