| SYC Mystery Dinghy Cruise | 2016-07-13 | "Officer Of The Day" for the SYC "mystery dinghy cruise". What the mystery was to be was, er, a mystery to us.
So we decided that it would be cricket and drinkies on the Bull Sands in the middle of the Exe Estuary at low water.
F4 gusting F5 a fair bit of the time but it seems a good time was had by all.

| Bull Sands paddling | 2024-04-18 | After tailing the safety line while Derek H went up the mast of his Fulmar, down to the Bull Sands against the wind and tide (only F3 and neaps). Lunch on the Sands and then an easy paddle back as the wind and waves got up a bit. Top paddling / exercise!

| Morte Point | 2017-10-29 | From Lee Bay along the coast path to Bull Point lighthouse and then on around Morte Point.
Some big up and downie bits along the way and some scary (for me) cliff top paths!
Camera was happy with the sunlight though.

| Pole Sands paddling | 2020-08-01 | With ball action on the Pole Sands and Bull Hill, this was doggy heaven. Apart from the kayaking bit and getting a wet bottom when a few waves came over the side of the kayak.

| Pole Sands Paddling | 2022-04-15 | First full family paddle of the year.
Ideal conditions - tide with us on the way out and the wind got up a little to give us wind and tide pushing us on the way back.

| Meathop and Grange-over-Sands | 2022-04-29 | An 06:45 start and 350 miles got us to the south of the Lake District by about 2 p.m.
In time for a short yomp to Grange-over-Sands. A very pretty village on the north of Morcombe Bay. But where the hell where the pubs? Found one eventually.
Back along the edge of the bay where Scooby hound danced with joy for being off the lead.
Then back to Meathop Fell camp site where, as it was my night to cook, I treated us to two Fungi pizzas from the mobile pizzeria.
C&M campsite very nice - spotlessly clean - not too Stepford Wives.
