2015 06 Kayaking at Falmouth, Cornwall
Kayak Trip - Maenporth to Helford River - Cornwall UK
Kayak trip on 20th October 2012 from Maenporth Falmouth UK to Helford River.
Easy 2 hour paddle, head land off the Helford was a little choppy.
On the night of the 30 December 1978, the Scottish trawler Ben Asdale was wrecked off Maenporth I have included a photo of the remains of the hull showing at high tide. I narrated the video slightly wrong and said 1979. This stretch of coast is very colourful paddle and I have now done this a few times.
Please check out my other kayak videos.

Kayak trip - Porthallow to the Helford River near Falmouth Cornwall
September 2013 kayak trip, around the Helford River area and a beautiful day too.
Porthallow (Cornish: Porthalow) is a small fishing village on the east coast of the The Lizard peninsula just south of the Helford River, in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It sits between the two neighbouring villages of St Keverne and Roskorwell. It has one road running through it and a post office. It is also on the South West Coast Path. It has a pub, the Five Pilchards, named such for Cornwall's fishing fleet of five pilchards used to come out of Porthallow.
In this kayak trip we head from Porthallow round Nare head and into Gillan Creek, from there we head out around St Antonys into the Helford River and stop on a beach before returning.
The stony beach on Porthallow, that reaches out to a sandy one in low tide, is privately owned but can be accessed by anyone, villager or tourist. Manacles Reef, a dangerously rocky area that sinks many oncoming ships, lays just a mile off shore along with all its victims still there. It has a new village hall built in 2010 for the benefit of the villagers. It is as eco-friendly as possible with solar panels and floor heating from ground-floor beach heat. Many different local programmes take place such as yoga, Pilates, and monthly film showings. The wall facing the bay is made entirely of glass. Porthallow lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park.

Sea Kayaking Cornwall 2013 - Boscastle to Tintagel.
Day 2, and another classic paddle, better than the first? You decide. I tried to keep it brief as possible, but there was so much done on the day. Left Boscastle, and headed South this time, to Tintagel. Leaving the harbour, I was delighted to see it was flat calm, a relief after yesterday's experience. The first headland is Willapark, and in the seaward side is a cave, this day it was chock full of Jellyfish, and a little Gopro filming here provided the opening title sequence. Follow the coast into the first bay, and in that first corner is the amazing cave, featured at the end of the last video. It had dried out here, but later we returned, and it was one of the very best Caves we've ever done, and we've done Fingal's Cave!!! It really was that good, the height of tide was perfect, as was the direction of sunlight penetrating it. Just before Tintagel is Bossiney Haven, a really special little spot, that disappears under Atlantic Ocean, or Celtic Sea, if you prefer, at high water. All along this coast is magic, with caves, coves, canyons, stacks, and secret little lagoons. Tintagel is wonderful, and we timed it to perfection to navigate Merlin's Cave, that is actually a tunnel that penetrates right through Tintagel head. I was in severe danger of bottoming out here, entering Merlin's tunnel, and the last thing you want is a huge swell, entering the tunnel, from both ends, and meeting in the middle, at exactly the point where your kayak is!!! So I didn't tarry here. What we really needed now, was a leg stretch, and a hot refreshing, but there is nowhere available at high water. So we pulled the boats up on the rocks, and a quick butty was all we had time for. The wind had got up, and the return journey was quite lively, but on reaching Willapark, and the magical cave, it calmed off considerably. We made the Cobweb Pub, in Boscastle, and they cooked up Matt's Pollack for us, to end a near perfect day. This was a pattern that repeated itself all through this trip. Every critical decision we made paid off handsomely, we really had luck on our side, the Big Fella watched over us, 'cos we're good boys at heart, ha ha.
Kayak Cornwall: Fowey to Lostwithiel
After planning a sea trip from Porthpean to Fowey, we were disappointed to arrive at the coast to find that the launch site was too dangerous. Time for plan B which was to launch at Fowey and paddle to Lostwithiel, we were in luck here as the tides were perfect to have a free ride upstream, lunch then another free ride on the outgoing tide.
We managed to paddle past Lostwithiel finally stopping for sandwiches at the base of the A390 road bridge. This is a very nice river trip with the river flowing through some beautiful countryside. Keep your eyes open for a lot of wildlife, I saw two kingfishers (my first ever) and some marvelous Dippers (check them out). I prefer sea paddles but this river offers a great alternative if its big out at sea. We paddled back to Fowey and continued to the mouth of the estuary.

Dropping in to Falmouth harbour
Kayak Cornwall - Falmouth to Portscatho
Kevin, Guy and I left Swanpool beach in Falmouth and paddled across the mouth of the Fal estuary where the wind was brisk and waves were moving seawards, continuing past St Anthony's lighthouse and around the Roseland peninsula to Portcatho. Guy ended the journey early and fell asleep on Porthbeor beach (said he had a late night!!) but we did see him again safe and sound at the end of our paddle.

Kayak Trip - Looe Beach on the River Fal - Cornwall UK
Kayak Trip from Looe Beach on the Falmouth River 15th July 2013 with my work mates. Beautiful day and a really good laugh.
Falmouth has played a key role in the defence of the nation since Tudor times when Henry VIII built the twin castles of St Mawes and Pendennis to guard the entrance to one of the finest natural harbours in the world.
In 1660 the town was officially declared as Falmouth and for 200 years it flourished as the second busiest port in the British Empire.
In 1668 the Post Office established a service from Falmouth to foreign ports and colonies. By 1817 a total of forty Packet Ships were sailing from Falmouth to carry mail, passengers, supplies and payment for troops fighting abroad.
The foundation of Falmouth Docks in 1860 produced a focus for maritime related industries and gave a huge boost to the town and its economy.
