Scilly Isles Expedition 2008

I have just returned from SKC's Scilly Isles expedition, this is our second years Xped to this unique archiplego of low lying isles which stand approximately 22 miles south west of mainland Britain.

The islands are very tropical in their appearance and have a unique charm.

Poor weather throughout the week did nothing to steal away the beauty of our surroundings or dampen the spirits of those who made the journey with us.

Everyone did very well, extending their paddling experience by learning on the move, often in advance conditions.

Simon did a fantastic job in organising the schedule and is still out there with another group of paddlers. Demand for places on the trip led to us extending our stay on the isles.

A full gallery of images will be going up on our website upon Simons return but for now here is an image from the first weeks Xped.

A big thankyou to Mike, Geoff, Dave, Sally, Charlie, Lisa, Nick and Nicky for being such great guys, we hope you had a wonderful time.
