Best paddle of the trip? YOU decide, ha ha. I first did this trip in 2009(See video) and it will always have a special little place in my heart. I always assumed the South Cornish coast was the best, but within an hour of being at Portreath in June 2009, I realised that, that statement was about to be seriously questioned. The 2 trips I did, back then were awesome, and I thought a return visit could NEVER live up to those 2 days, but this surpassed the lot. Ralph's Cupboard, Basset's Cove, the shipwreck Secil Japan, Deadman's Cove, Hell's Mouth, Fishing Cove..........all wonderful places to be encountered, throw in fantastic coastal scenery, some classic caves, seals, seabirds, and even some friendly locals on sit on kayaks, and you have all the ingredients of a classic. To top it all off, the BEST weather we've had in years, and there you have it the best trip of 2013, and possibly ever, couldn't say it was better than Staffa, or Handa Island, but most certainly as good. The sheer length of the video is indicative of what we experienced, and I've still left out the rock gardens, and pitch black caves, and tunnels we encountered in the fog!!! Doing the video was an episode also, my computer got a 'Worm blaster' virus, which put me out of action a while, and I had to record a lot of new music to go on the video, which is much harder now as my 'Music room' has been taken over by the new log burner. Special mention to Paul, and Aaron who we met at Ralph's Cupboard, proper salt of the Earth types.
