Kayak Kingdom - sea kayaking on the Pembrokeshire coast

How did we miss this one?! In September 2009 OE magazine ran a fab article by Rebecca Corbally on Preseli Venture's Sea Kayak Odyssey on the lovely coast of Pembrokeshire.

Here is is, in all its beauty:


"Bathing in the warmth of late afternoon sun, we glide sinuously out in the still water past the pastel-coloured cottages as a gaggle of gulls eyes us suspiciously from above".


"Kayaking gives you an entirely different perspective to life on land. Suddenly we are in a world of undiscovered caverns, inaccessible beaches, fishermen's 'keeps' bursting with shiny red lobster and gargantuan spider crab, the bald silhouettes of soft, slick seals popping up from time to time as they follow us unpeturbed. Arches, caverns and lonely needles stand proud among the white blasts of spray punctuating the black and silver granite beckoning us closer as the hours on the water pass."

"Our evenings are spent sitting in the cosy Preseli Venture eco lodge and tucking into well earned food which surpasses expectation every night. Candles are lit and a log burner nestles in the corner. A small bar serves much-needed red wine and cold beers..."

Rebecca has a lovely way with words, and she spends much of her time adventuring around the uk and further afield and writing super stories about it - you can live vicariously through her adventuring pleasure on her website - http://www.rebecca-corbally.co.uk

Happy reading!
