Enjoyed myself yesterday down at Littlestone with Grawp and the Camber lads. After a 6.45 brekky at my house, Grawp and I headed off to the Romney marshes in the gloomy morning light and lashing rain. We got there to discover suprisingly mellow looking conditions (small ankle snapper waves), but no shortage of wind. After a bit of fannying around and checking out the options, we rigged up.

I was stacked on my 4.2 and playing it safe by doing lots of short runs and not venturing very far out, as the wind was slightly offshore and there was a strong rip. Didn't fancy getting into trouble out there. Despite being very cautious and also doing a lot of walking, I still had an enjoyable session in what for me are survival conditions, and I came away feeling like I'd coped OK and learnt a bit on the way. I'm feeling knackered this morning, but in a good way...
