Hello folks

I run a walking company in Cornwall (maybe that should be I amble along a walking company) and understand and observe at first hand the personal benefits of physical and mental uplift that people experience being close to water.

Sign up for a one mile swim in the beautiful waters of Tor Bay in aid of the Devon Air Ambulance - a vital rescue charity which saves countless lives and has no government funding. The Agatha Christie Swim will take place on September 19th...between the beaches of Goodrington and Broadsands, where the famous authoress herself used to like to bathe. You can enter here.

I have been recently licenced by Cornwall Council to run boat trips on my currach OFFCUT in the Fal and Helford estuaries. This will give an opportunity for discovering the creeks of the Fal and Helford and engage in rowing, foraging, fishing and walking in previously inaccesible places.
