I love kayaking, though I normally take to the water on lochs and lakes and have only once, very briefly, ventured out on to the sea before. With the opportunity to spend 5 days in Cornwall over the August bank holiday weekend, I thought it would be the ideal chance to take a kayak out…
We’ve loved the look of Stand up Paddleboarding (SUP) for some time, and I must admit to having one (disastrous!) attempt at it myself a couple of years ago. In my defense it was freezing cold, my back injury was at it’s worst and it was in a lake full of mud and pond weed…

This weekend saw me finally bring my 40th birthday celebrations to a close. Not bad considered I’ve managed to milk the whole birthday thing since my special snowboarding holiday back in March, right through to now, the end of June.
