Day 15 Saturday – The trip home on the Norbay by Gary B The final day started with a 5:30 alarm call, a quick final pack up and off by 6:30 to a drive through Dublin, alongside the Liffey, to the ferry terminal. Early Saturday morning meant it was quiet, so we arrived with plenty of time to board the Norbay; which was just as well as it sailed 15 minutes early! The… Read More »2023 LCC Celtic Sea Kayaking Trip Day 15 Saturday – The trip home on the Norbay by Gary B

We saw and chatted with David Cutts and later saw and… Read More »Sea Kayak Leader Skills Day 2 of 6 by Dave Gentle

Day 14 Friday – Boulder beach camp on Bere Island to Castletownbere Harbour by Frankie A I was awake before the alarm I set to ensure I made it on the water by 8.30am. Camping mostly on the concrete of the road wasn’t anywhere near as comfortable as pebble/stone beaches. Despite my early start, I was last on the water at about 8.15 am. A drizzly damp morning turned into… Read More »2023 LCC Celtic Sea Kayaking Trip Day 14 Friday – Return to Castletownbere Harbour by Frankie A

Day 13 Thursday – Adrigole Harbour to Boulder Beach camp on Bere Island by Debbie After a bit of trickiness getting boats into deep enough water from the campsite we set off out of the bay and up the coast. By 10ish Keith was ready for breakfast so we had a quick breather in a narrow gap in the rocks. There was little wind at this point but it soon… Read More »2023 LCC Celtic Sea Kayaking Trip Day 13 Thursday – Adrigole Harbour to Bere Island by Debbie

Anglesey Weekend #4 Gallows Point to Menai Bridge 1st October 2023 Anglesey Weekend #4Paul Goetzee A new day, a new plan. Another group of 8, again led by David and Fiona but this time without Chris.

The… Read More »Anglesey Weekend #4 Gallows Point to Menai Bridge by Paul Goetzee

2023 LCC Celtic Sea Kayaking Trip Day 12 Wednesday – Casteltownbere to Adrigole Harbour by Chris Bolton We left the rather good value campsite at Allihies (8 Euros a night) and drove for half an hour along very narrow lanes to Casteltownbere. Parking spaces by the harbour were found, but the slipway was used by the ferry to Bear Island, and we had to get on the water quickly to… Read More »2023 LCC Celtic Sea Kayaking Trip Day 12 Casteltownbere to Adrigole Harbour by Chris Bolton
