Kayaking North Devon coast from Combe Martin

June saw him and me take our kayaks out along the north Devon coast from Combe Martin. The village is a lot quieter than the other coastal resorts along this coast and the beach is easy to launch from.

Conditions were perfect with virtually no swell or waves to contend with. We headed to the west exploring remote beaches and caves only accessible from the sea. During late morning some sea mist started to appear over Little Hangman hill (middle of picture below) and drifted down into the valley between it and Lester Cliff. Combe Martin can just be seen on the right.

We were thankful for our sun hats that day, crikey was it hot!

We paddled as far as Small Mouth Bay, exploring a number of the caves in the area. With a changing tide and a brisk wind coming up from the west we headed back along the coast and did some tight inshore exploring around the many rocks and headlands.
