Paddle boarding in Falmouth

Son Steve (43) showing me how it's done!

I'm just back from a few happy days in Cornwall: bit drizzly most days, but I always enjoy the scenery and seaside smells! Steve drove me to Sennen Cove (gorgeous), and Mullion Cove (where they filmed 'Poldark' apparently) - very bleak and dramatic. This is at Maenporth on a calm day, and he paddled around the bay three times without falling off :))

i fancy that! That looks fun! Must be really good for the 'core' strength too..all that balancing. Reminds me of our holiday in Lake Garda about 2002. We saw rowers on the river and there they row standing up...brilliant to see them.

Warm work though Paul!

I bet you could do it, Karen. (I might have had a go if I'd had my cossie on, but it wasn't a swimming sort of day, lol.)

Thanks Sandra! Yes it's a great county . . . long drive for us, but worth it. Pretty good area for coffee and cake too :)

Can you take a sick bag on with you?

Karen, Steve was telling me about one or two 'expert' paddle-boarders, who can paddle around the headland (probably nearly a mile) in shorts (no wetsuit), and with pockets stuffed with food, plus their precious mobile phone!

Lol....no sick bags then?!

Thanks Shirley - yes, the coastline is stunning, and we love having a Falmouth son!

It seems to be very popular now Sheila and so lovely to see Falmouth.

I know how much you love it down there, I do too!

We're you tempted to have a go - no, me neither!!

Thanks Chris - well, I was tempted, but wasn't suitably dressed :))

I never remember to pack my wet suit either!!!

I very much doubt that I could get into one of those Chris - just trying would make me laugh too much!
