Pure Liquid Kayaking ran a BCU 3 Star Sea Kayak training course over the first weekend in August. Luckily, the forecasts leading up to the weekend turned out to be incorrect, and we ended up with some nice breezy and mostly sunny conditions for the duration of the course - ideal. Based from the Brixham IBEX Canoe Club hut, we utilized the stunning Berry Head and surrounding area to paddle in, whilst covering the full BCU 3* Sea Kayak Syllabus. On the Saturday we covered equipment, weather, 3* skills, and navigation, before putting those skills into practice along the rocky coastline around Berry Head. Sunday involved plenty of rescue skills and techniques, plus some towing practice, before heading back to the warmth and dry of the hut for some journey planning exercises, as the heavy rain and wind hit as predicted. A thoroughly enjoyable weekend was had, with a great bunch of keen and enthusiastic paddlers, who running the course for, was a total pleasure. Thanks to: PM, Will, Paul, Simon, Alice and Harriet. :)
