Sometimes the elements are really more suited to something other than kayaking. With local temperatures below minus 10, the snow has stayed in good condition, so what do you do?
Get a lift in Rich's landrover to the top of the forest track
Take some enthusiastic people, and ski to the sea
It was uphill on the way back of course (have you noticed that it nearly always is uphill on the way back from the sea?)
But the entrance to the beach was worth a couple more goes (even for those with replacement knees and hip)
Now, I suppose it is back to the workshop as I have a stick and a wobbler to make.
