Cornwall Kayaking Trips
Our position within Mounts bay gives us an ideal location
for running trips which can be tailored to your needs.
With numerous launch and landing sites in the bay we can
adjust the length of paddle you do from half and full days
at a leisurely pace or maybe you prefer a more strenuous pace
its up to you.
We generally prefer to run trips with return to Porthleven
in mind as returning to the historic stone walls of the port
help to give that great sense of achievement and security
of being home. However due to weather conditions routes may
have to be altered.
Trips to other coastal locations can of course be arranged
if you have somewhere specific in mind.
Sights to see in Mounts Bay - from Mousehole
to Porthleven include:- Newlyn
harbour, Penzance harbour, St Michaels
Mount, Cudden Point, Prussia
Cove, Praa Sands, Rinsey
Caves, Trewavas copper mines, Past
the amazing aplite rock stripes before returning into harbour
where you can go onto relax at any one of the fine hostelries
and mull over the day’s experience.
The area around Megiliggar Rocks exposes the eastern contact
of the Tregonning Granite with the Upper Devonian Mylor Slate
Formation. Running out from the contact are a series of sills
and dykes that extend hundreds of metres into the country
rock. These sills and dykes display a range of rock types
from microgranite, to aplite, to line rock and spectacular
schorl-orthoclase-quartz pegmatites. The contact itself appears
almost vertical and lies along a fault. This outcrop in Trequean
Zawn is impossible to reach, without swimming, even at the
lowest tides; with a party it is advisible to only go as far
as Legereath Zawn and walk back to Tremearne, this will give
the best range of available exposures.
Maybe it’s the tranquillity of the creeks that you
are after for this we can take you to the Helford River. The
Helford is probably one of the most beautiful rivers in Cornwall,
with its sheltered valleys, oak forests and hidden creeks.
Again we can either do half or full days depending on the
Tide we like to start at Gweek on a full tide and with the
force of nature get carried along amongst the trees towards
the sea and watch the wildlife go by. On a half-day we would
get out at Helford itself or if on a full day we would go
right to the mouth to St Antony. We can always go up river
if it’s a flooding tide.
If you are a Daphne Du Mauirer fan then a detour up Frenchmans
creek could be the order of the day.
Or maybe just a tranquil evening paddle up Gillan creek from
St Antony as the magic of the evening draws in is what you
fancy. |
