Day 98 Scarborough

Got woke up at god knows what time by a couple having a domestic about five meters from me. Not happy about it as I've got to get up at 3am.
3AM and we are up after 4 hours sleep and we are on the water by 4.30. Its cold and foggy we have 22Nm to do until we get to Scarborough and the tide turns against us at 10.30  so we crack on and set a good pace.
We arrive at Scarborough at 10.30 and after I get some abuse from a sea angerler we are greeted by the harbour master who directs us were we can store our boats.
After some sorting we meet Julie, lily and Owen and head to their house where we are staying the night. Julie cooked us a lovely dinner and Adam got the ciders out and we had a nice relaxing sunday.

Day 90 - Achmithie

Hawthorn hive - Day 96

Tynemouth to Hawthorn Hive

A late start due to tide had a pretty relaxed paddle to an out of the way beach where we planned a very early start the next day to do a long paddle to Scarborough. So in bivis at 8pm ready for a 2.30 wake up. All good until about 8.30, when about 20 people descended on the beach with tents and crates of beer - oh.

Day 95 Sugar sands to Tynemouth

A pretty uneventful paddling day until meeting Martin on the water who paddled back to Long sands with us. Martin paddled around Britain last year and had kindly said we could stay with him, being a paddler himself knew exactly what we needed and was good to hear his stories from his trip. We had a great evening and curry with Martin and Jen before setting off the next day recharged. 

Thanks Martin and Jen

Day 90 & 91 Auchmithie To nr bass rock

Day 90 still windy today so another day on the beach.

Day 91
Its a nice sunny day and we are looking forward to moving on.
First challenge is launching with out getting out feet wet as there is a raw sewage outlet and it stinks. That done we paddle in a straight line towards bass rock.  32 Nm later we get to bass rock which has a large gannet colony. Im always surprised how we manage to pass these large bird colonies with out getting mucked on. 2 more Nm and we get to our beach for the night.

Day 94 Holy Island to Sugar Sands

We shot around Holy Island (Next time we will have to stop - looked like a nice place) and on to sea houses for a short break. Met some friendly sea kayakers who told us of their travels over the years and then paddled on to camp on a beach with more fresh Mackerel for tea.
