The Weather looks favourable for a change. So a last minute plan to paddle around Walney Island.
A paddle anticlockwise around the island. Starting and Finishing at Earnse Bay.
There is the option to Meet the trip at Roa Island Ferry Jetty at 12:30 and finish at Earnse Bay, or meet at us Jubilee Bridge around 13:30 and paddle around the North End to Finish at Earnse Bay. To do either of these you would need to arrange a shuttle. If you would like to do either of these options contact me directly this evening. (07835 448621)
