Cuckmere Haven Trip
Re: Cuckmere Haven Trip
The weather wasn't with us on this trip.
A sudden drop in temperature with a strong viable wind meant the cosy touring paddle of recent years become something quite different.
And a new challenge.

Getting onto the canalised part of the Cuckmere is always a challenge...
Click to see how it should be done
and here also
Once we reached the shore, we were surprised not just by the magnificent chalk cliffs...
but the choppy tide.
Something we haven't experienced before.
Surprisingly few capsizes as we soon learnt the art of surfing.
Quite an exhilarating but tiring day and thanks to Clive and Simon at Bewl Water Canoe Club for organising and inviting Meridian on this trip.
