Andy's Kayaking Adventures: Good Times

Andy's Kayaking Adventures: Good Times: "A short collection of my past trips and the good times ive had so far. Many more to come! Many thanks to Bro & Pascal for all there help..."

Wyre Estuary

A quick paddle on the Lancaster Canal straight after
work on Friday night was followed by a trip from
Knott End slip way up to Shard Bridge and back on
the Saturday morning, trying to make the best of
the only break in the weather for 2 weeks.



With seaquest coming up in September and a lot to
do before then i took the oportunity to paddle the
Estuary as i had a free morning. The Weather
was good but however after a few beers the night
before i had a slow start and so missed the tide.
This meant a slog for the last couple of miles upto
the shard bridge. Even with this i still managed
my best time of 2hours 38 min for the return trip.

"CALCUTT MEADOWS MARINA"

Roscolyn

After a few relaxing days with friends around
north wales there was time for a trip to see big
brother for a couple of days kayaking around
Angelsey. This started with a trip from Roscolyn
up to the arches and back and then a lesson in
rescue drills. Great fun and nice to meet Pete
who was a great laugh.
