I’ve been making the most of the good weather recently with evening paddles or bike rides. The Swellies wave was working earlier in the week and Barry and I enjoyed an evening surf – joined by some local playboaters and even a C1 slalom paddler! Barry took the new Valley Etain to see how it performed. It’s a long boat so he wasn’t expecting it to be great on the wave but he was very pleasantly surprised and found it very maneuverable.

In the UK, people are already out on paddling trips. Roger Chandler from Coastal Spirit is leading a group of 3 people on a circumnavigation of Wales at the moment. They are doing brilliantly and have just a few more days paddle left to complete the circle. You can read their blog here. Barry and I will join them for a day tomorrow, paddling from Rhoscolyn round to the North coast of Anglesey and hopefully camp overnight with them too. I’m excited to spend a night in our tent!

Harry Whelan & Jeff Allen started their speed attempt at paddling around Ireland today with a 40-mile+ paddle. I think they have to average over 30 miles a day to beat the current ‘record’ of 33 days.
