Kayaking the Bristol Channel

A beautiful winter morning in South Wales lent itself to some perfect kayaking conditions.

A 4hr round trip from Penarth to Flatholm was great training for my up and coming Coast to Coast Race in New Zealand.

We paddled against the tide in a ferry gliding style out towards Flatholm before taking a breather on the Island and a bite to eat. The return journey was spirited and we paddled hard to get over the confused waters and jump from eddy to eddy.

All in all a perfect day!
