Yesterday Barry and I enjoyed a lively paddle around ‘the Stacks’ – one of my favourite all-time paddles. There was a pleasant amount of swell, making darting between rocks & through channels fun & interesting, without having your heart-in-your-mouth. Barry took some nice photos of me in North Stack although my photos of him in South Stack were pretty rubbish!

John Willacy is imminently due to finish his paddle around Great Britain – perhaps today. Congratulations to him. It will be a new record – but perhaps not for long?
