Sunrise Sea Kayaking Yesterday...

Stunning misty dawn across Glengarriff Bay & Nature Reserve

So much eagle activity, and so many baby seals!

The misty conditions were a cross between Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings...

Full Moon Kayaking Trips Across Glengarriff Bay

For three nights; 29th Jun to 1st July; we'll have full moon kayaking trips on Glengarriff Bay available.

1030pm - 1230am.

 

There will also be bioluminescence sparkling in the water

So you'll either get a magical full moon paddle; or if it's a cloudy night - you'll get bioluminescence!

Winter ML + Climbing Coach :)

Delighted to have got through two recent assessments; Development Climbing Coach and Winter Mountain Leader

Winter ML has only been a slow burning ambition for the past 20 yrs

Development Climbing Coach was a fantastic learning journey; and in recent times I've been lucky enough to spend 4 months in the snow and ice of Scottish Highlands...

 

Thanks @alanhalewood + Glenmore Lodge for tough and great assessments!

 

Really excited to be offering Scottish Winter Courses, plus Irish based climbing coaching, going forward, hopefully.
