Advice on a 2/3 day scenic coastal paddle

Postby Forester » Fri Apr 06, 2012 9:50 am

Hi,

Me and my wife are just getting into sea kayaking,I have reasonable whitewater experience,wife has only paddled flat water for a couple of years but did the Spey with me and loved it.
We would love to spend couple of days paddling and camping somewhere nice this spring/summer,I've paddled out and around Lulworth Cove couple of time,is it possible to extend the trip from there along the coast.Was also thinking of Pembrokeshire Coast.Somewhere with quiet/wild campsite would be good.
Many thanks!

I always find Google Earth, an OS map, a chart of the area a good starting point, rather than someone elses' pre packed ideas. Have a good trip and many more in the future.

And my wife said no one would get it!

In all seriousness Simon, there are a good variety of trips in this area that will tick all of your boxes whatever the weather forecast.

MarkR's guide has required info without being prescriptive and encouraging box-ticking paddles. Recommended.
