Kayaking in winter is cold, obviously. This winter, Mum and I made every effort to make sure that we kept paddling and adventuring as the weather got worse, and we are firm believers in the mantra that there is no such thing as bad weather, just being badly prepared. Pogies are piece of kayaking kit that are designed to wrap around the paddle, with an opening for your hand to slip in, so you can hold the paddle.
CK Explorer 430 Kayaks Review
We then came across Cambridge Kayaks, who had some touring kayaks on sale. Naturally, we had many questions, and thankfully, the people at CK were incredibly friendly. They answered all the questions we had, and talked for us for probably much longer than is necessary to make a sale. They genuinely just wanted to make sure we had the right information that we needed, which was lovely.
A Summer of Paddling 2025
We paddled around the Rhoscolyn Beacon, which is sat upon a collection of islands off the west coast of Anglesey (Ynysoedd Gwylanod, which means Seagulls’ Islands). It has historically been used to warn ships of the rocky coastline, both above and below the waves. While I’m sure it still has this same use in today’s world, it is also now home to many, many seals.

Aber Falls on a Mobility Scooter
We marvelled at the hills, and the beauty of where we were. When we stopped to have lunch, we spent time laughing, joking, and messing around together. While that is our default state, it was really great to all be outside doing it. We were out as a family, enjoying each other’s company. Lovely.
