Contrary to popular belief, you can buy sun cream in Fishguard in March - OK it took me - 4 shops to find it but it can be bought!? Having said cream the sun promptly did a runner - ho hum. The rest if Team Strumble seem impressed that this was only my 2nd sea kayak trip - everyone has to start somewhere...!? The paddle out was hard work - it felt like it was uphill all the way...!? Lunch was taken on a 10 x 12 ft pebble beach - overlooked by a seal! The paddle south was much easier (Doh!?) Playing in close was fun til i mixed it with a big boulder & big woosh (a tech term!?!) I lost and had a close encounter with some barnacles -after I'd bailed out... Still the phone remained dry & the new paddling rig has been christened!?! We beached at Abercastle - and then everyone one else -who hadn't dunked changed into dry rig - mine was in the car - 10 miles and 60 mins of faffing away... 3 hrs later I finally thawed out - a fab trip,,,,
