When Team goes Solo
I can’t thank enough the folk who have helped and supported me on this trip and actually made it possible. What started out as a team event when Sonja and I left Bullock Harbour (yes, with a tear in our eyes) on May 12th took a completely different turn when Sonja got sick and after […]

Well done Eila
Full on to the last, she gave it all she had for those last two days, determined to finish off last night. She slipped in to Bulloch Harbour behind my back as I was trying to get students on the water for an evenings session. I had a big banner hanging from my car “Well […]

Back at the beginning!
The sound of water woke me- it was still dark, but as I peeped out of my bivvy bag the water was up on the slip! 30 minutes later decision made, time to go! Don’t ask me how or why I was on the water at 0530- but that’s what happened!! So- for a short […]

Forrest Gump
I was on the water at 07.30 and thought I’d just keep on paddling and paddling!! So I paddled all day, past Strangford Lough and then Carlinford Lough – then. Was ready to stop- but trying to find somewhere to land was a challenge, there was absolutely nothing for miles! The area is really flat […]

Sunny days
The sky was clear and the sea calm as I peeped out of my tent this morning. For some reason it was only 5.20 and I was awake and even the sun was smiling at me! I was on the water at 07.30- admitably the put was made that much easier with the help of […]

Ballygally
If you have been following my track from SPoT there is some sad news in that he somehow died yesterday. Adventure Trading are working on it and bemused as this hasn’t happened to a device before!! Alas at the moment there is no route to follow- but I am still paddling!! So– today I left […]

Lizzie and Susie come to support!!
I left the harbour at Mulroy Bay with a load of apprehension as to what the weather would be doing. And how I’d cope!! There was a lot less wind than the previous day and my confidence slowly built as I picked my way through the boomers and massive surf. It is hypnotic to sit […]

All Shook Up
The wind has been a bit more in my favour today- but being NW meant the sea got pretty huge at times as there’s a fair bit of fetch…!! There’s just no pleasing me!! Horn Head was pretty explosive and I’ve had to keep out of the way of a load of breaking waves pretty […]
