| Pole Sands paddling | 2022-08-27 | Down to the Pole Sands with Jeremy and Marija L. Accompanying an SYC dinghy cruise.
After we forgot Scooby Hound's tennis ball, Marija very kindly bought him a ball on a rope. Which he promptly destroyed!
Followed up with some kayak capsize practise at SYC - capsizing both the Sea Eagle inflatable and the hard shell Triumph 13.

| Paddle round the Pole Sands | 2021-04-14 | Lovely paddle down from SYC, around the Pole Sands and back again.
Had a poke around a new channel that seems to be opening up from buoys 7/8. A line between the lifeboat station and just a little east of the Parsons Nose (off Dawlish) gives what seems to be slightly deeper water than the marked channel. However, it doesn't seem as wide and wouldn't be easy to identify coming back into the estuary.
Had a 3.9 metre tide and some wind to push me back to SYC - lush!

| Pole Sands Paddling | 2021-05-29 | Out to the Pole Sands on a lovely Spring day. Joined by Marija and Jeremy L in their new Sea Eagle 385 FT. A veritable fleet of Sea Eagles.
Scooby was a pretty good boy given it was his first trip out in the kayak this year. A bit barky though.

| 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.
