Brixham Sea School

Mid September saw myself and my partner James and a good friend of ours, Jeremy Van Remsdye spending a week paddling around the Isles of Scilly.
We were based at a lovely campsite of the very beautiful isle of St Martin. From here we paddled out and explored the coastline of all the main islands plus many of the outer lying rocks and islands too.  Because of the geological nature of the Isles of Scilly the main islands are all sheltered by the outer lying rocks which made paddling from island to island even on the windiest of days possible.  Though the strong wind conditions did add excitement to the trip as we were able to go out and enjoy some more challenging conditions around the Northern rocks, Men -of -vaur, Round island and to the west of Annett where large swells and crashing waves breaking over reefs and rocks made for interesting kayaking. As well as the beautiful coast line, the islands are home to a multitude of bird life and also lay host to a large seal population, which we did get chance to go snorkelling with.
So a fantastic trip on the whole, and defiantly recommended as a place to visit
