St Bees Saturday
Many thanks to Helen for organising the St Bees weekend - a great pity that more paddlers didn't brave the forecast and the rain (only four for Saturday and five for Sunday).
Whitehaven and St Bees Head came and went through the drizzle, but the sea was comparatively gentle.
We had an interesting time finding the bus back from Whitehaven to St Bees having decided to only paddle one way (for future reference it's the number 20 from Tesco's car park - and there are no bus stop signs!).
Sunday was drier, but led to a run-in with an aggressive birdwatcher who threatened vehicle damage if we launched at our planned location. A rapid rethink, and the public slipway near Walney Bridge was used instead.
Piel Island, Sunday
Several grey seals seen, and the castle on Piel Island was visited with interest.Best wishes

Cheers for the story and photos Bill.
Sounds like you had a great trip out. Does it still say 'Jesus', in 4ft high letters on the cliff to the south of St Bees head?
