Piel Island lies off the cumbrian south-west coast close to Barrow in Furness. We Launched from the public slipway on the island of Roa, which is accessible by means of a road on a causeway.
Paddling around Roa, Piel and the nearby Walney Island is best, and sometimes only possible 2-3 hours either side of high water.
Sadly the Ship Inn closed last year but locals hope to re-open it next year following some vital restoration work.
The southern end Of Walney Island is a nature reserve and is teeming with wildlife. Inquisitive seals followed us around the headland and played in the tidal races as we surfed.
