Norway training in Cornwall

January 2010

The recent run of winter weather has created some good home grown surf on our local beaches. This gave Jeff & Jim the oppurtunity to get out and do some training for their up and coming leg of the Norway expedition this spring. Jeff will be joined by Jim Frampton and Petr Major for this next leg of the Scandinavian Circumnavigation.

Vaughn Roberts was there to snap some great photos. The surf in Cornwall at this time of year is amazing but you just have to wrap up to enjoy it! You will be able to follow their progress by login on to the

Sea Kayaking Cornwall have been helping Neil prepare his skills for the epic journey he is about to undertake in aid of Cancer Research in memory of his wife Linda. He will set off from john o groats, and using a bike, open canoe and kayak he will make his way to Lands End in Cornwall. The last section is to be undertake by Sea kayak from Lyme Regis to Lands End.

We hope to find a paddler that could accompany him on the sea kayaking section of the journey. The kayaking section should start in mid July and take around 2 weeks. If you are interested please get in touch with us and we can give you more information on the journey.

Sea Kayaking Cornwall wishes Neil the very best of luck in his challenge and we are looking forward to welcoming him in to Cornish waters.

Good luck from Simon and Jeff

Greek Islands expedition Sept 2007

For more photos please visit our gallery for lots more pictures to give you an idea what the greek islands are all about.

Greek salads, fresh seafood and clear warm water make Greece an amazing place to paddle. We were a multicultural group of 7 paddlers out on the water. Nina and Johan from Iceland, Herbert for Austria, Mitch from the UK, Roz from Irealnd and Saggi from Israel. Sea Kayaking Cornwalls works in connection with Terra Santa Kayaks to run expeditions to the Greek Islands in the area of Kalimnos, north of Kos.

The villages are beautiful once you get off the beaten tourist track. The famous Greek blues in all of their glory.

We camped out for 3 nights of the expedition on remote beaches. Lighting a fire and sitting drinking Regina in the moonlight was one of my personal highlights that made it the experience it was.

Kayaks are the best way to explore the islands allowing you to get to the places the tourists cant reach. There was no need for fly sheets as we hardly saw any clouds the entire week.
