On Friday two groups from King Edwards Sixth Form in Birmingham set off on a 4 day sea kayak expedition form Abersoch to Aberdovey in North Wales. The group left on Friday morning in perfect conditions with boats fully loaded and looking a little low in the water (few to many tins of beans?). Myself and Pete observed them from the shore for most of the day and went to meet them at their nights wildcamp near to Criccieth. Saturday and Sunday had the groups making their way down the coast in brilliant conditions, camping the night at Shell Island and then onto Fairborne. On Monday the Wind picked up to good force 4 from the West and created quite a sea. The group decided that to continue on to Aberdovey would be too tricky so opted to finish at Penmaenpool up the Mawdach Estury. The groups had a bouncy entrance to the estury but once in the enjoyed following winds which blew them to the finish. On arrival at the finish the group looked sufficently tired (probably due to the 6.00 wake up to catch the tides) but were all in good spirits.

Well done to all 12 students who took part, a great expedition and hopefully some good memories for the future.
