I don’t always take my camera with me paddling, as has been the case on recent paddling trips if the light looks flat and uninteresting I generally can’t be bothered. Other times, usually when the weather is bad, there is a great promise of interesting stuff happening.. so I do bother… but it doesn’t always work out, today being a case in point.. with the wind rising rapidly to 30 knots, some decent sized piles of water moving around and squally rain showers sweeping across the bay I really struggled with even just a little waterproof compact and only during quieter spells.. it would have been too easy to lose my paddle otherwise… but that aside the conditions were brilliant for a couple of hours of generally dicking around with the building surf… The weather of course was perfectly appropriate for mid-winter here in Cornwall. Terrific fun.
I’m feeling somewhat worked this evening, with the start of the racing season less than 3 months away starting to get some focus back into my riding so a good hard session yesterday on two wheels… and a good hard session this morning on the sea. A thoroughly excellent weekend :-)
Great shot
Hey, cheers and thanks for reading :-)
Thank you!
some of your best water shots ever – worth getting the camera out for sure.
hey, do you think? Not sure I agree but thanks! Anyway, wishing you a very happy christmas and new year, must be weird not being on the road!
I am trying to put together some bikepacking stuff and tarp system – ultralight road bike plans for next year. Not much info on using fast road bikes and the bags – do you know any good resources?
hey, I’ve always just stuffed some gear in a Carradice Camper Long-flap with some extra straps to lash things on top and then I guess lash your sleeping bag under the bars. The only other thing I can think of is perhaps check out what some of the RTW racers use, Vin Cox for example.. might be some useful info there in a google search.. other than that haven’t seen much.. a case of suck it and see I think, you could be breaking new ground ;-)
Tasty stuff. I love that top shot.
