Paddle Orkney 09 - Trip 3 - Lambs Holm to Newark via Roseness
Sunday 15 August
High winds through the night and gale warnings on Sunday morning led to any trips being deferred to the afternoon.
However, nine kayakers joined the afternoon trip:
Peter Johnny, Sean Helen, Graeme and the four from Belfast Kayak Club - Desi Gordy Phil and ?

We launched from the south end of the first Churchill Barrier just by the Italian Chapel and picked up a good following sea to Roseness. After a bit of roll practice by one of the Irish guys, we explored some of the caves around Roseness - how many kayaks can you get in a cave.
The Roseness gloup was impressive and we posed for a photo shoot by some walkers. We crossed to the Y cave with the dog leg then on to the narrow cave. With only about 2' clearance at the top of the wave, only a few managed through the narrow cave and not all entirely unscathed! |

Finally we headed across Dingiehowe and round into Newark where we were met by a welcome party of Sean's family.
About 7.5 nautical miles in all, I made it.
