While Nige was off globetrotting (skiing in the Alps this time), Martin and Denise made the most of another spell of beautiful winter weather with their first Ramsey visit of the year. This winter has seen plenty of light winds, sunshine and perfect paddling conditions. Although cold in the shade (there is a fair bit of ice on the North facing sea cliffs), it was warm enough for a play at The Bitches and a quick cuppa with Greg the warden before paddling back to Whitesands.

Martin would like to thank Fran for looking after the boys and Cheesy and the rest of the Palm team for the cosy new kit and Wilderness Systems Tempest!
