Back in my element! It’s been a long year without any sea kayaking. My kayak is looking resplendent having been lovingly refurbished.

@MahimahiBob It’s horrible when changes like this happen. Sadly, this is occurring everywhere it seems.

Stephen Marsh of Big Pond Kayaks has worked his magic once more. My beloved “Rwendo”, who saw me around Scotland on my year long trip has been completely refurbished. She looks incredible and awaits new artwork. Kerry’s brand new kayak is equally beautiful.

Point of Ayre the Isle of Man. It’s wonderful to be here, though this time I didn’t paddle across from Scotland, as I did in 2022 to drop off one kayak and collect the kayak you see on the van.

Ready for a trip across to the Isle of Man to collect a new sea kayak for our growing fleet. Also, to have my faithful kayak “Rwendo” refurbished for the coming paddling season and future years. The kayaks are designed & constructed to order by Stephen of Big Pond Kayaks.

Another YouTube film up on my channel. Again, filmed during my year long solo kayak journey around Scotland a couple of years ago. This one is about paddling down the NE coast from Lybster to Helmsdale. Intricate caves. Cacophonous birds. Singing seals. youtu.be/8WIXPOSdZqI

A wonderful day out on the fells yesterday. The Northern Fells of Cumbria seem so quiet and spacious.

An amphibian chorus, hidden in a marshy hollow on Uldale Fell. Wonderful.
