Rhoscolyn, Cymyran Strait & the Beacon...

Last Thursday, Mike Owen, Graham and myself set off on an ebbing tide from Rhoscolyn. The bright sunshine and just a gentle northern breeze made for perfect paddling conditions. After a bit of rock hopping round at Silver Bay we found just enough water to get round the corner into Cymyran Strait. A bit of a swell and a few breakers from behind made this quite interesting.
The tide was still ebbing in the Strait so we parked up for coffee and tiffin and then headed back towards Rhoscolyn Beacon. A quick circuit of the Beacon (meeting a lone paddler who had just bought an Explorer from Nigel Dennis at Sea kayaking UK), a bit of seal spotting and we landed back on the beach. Great paddle. Thanks to all who came.
