Finally I have achieved what I only hoped in my wildest dreams Nomad SK could teach me & give me the skills & confidence to do ... a long hard day of recoveries with the group at Bawdsey & then quietly pack the boat, slip round the corner & paddle north towards Shingle Street for the night. I'd hoped I could do it in 2020 but we know what went wrong there. Some learning points for others ... don't forget a spoon especially on frozen chili night, & I don't seem to be able to find the bag with the trowel!
Well done Tim, the photos look spectacular!
