Imagine you are at the edge of the sea on a day when it is difficult to say where the land ends and the sea begins and where the sea ends and the sky begins. Sea kayaking lets you explore these and your own boundaries and broadens your horizons. Sea kayaking is the new mountaineering.

Clear Solway tide
I slowly paddled east from Rumblekirn to a break in the cliffs.
By its nature the Solway Firth, with its extensive sand flats at low tide, tends to have cloudy water...
... but a period of light easterly winds had allowed the sediment to settle.
I enjoyed a peaceful swim in the unusually clear waters.
Another 14km Solway paddle.
