My Home Patch...

Living on the Hartland Peninsula, near to the North Devon/North Cornwall border, this is my home patch…lovely Clovelly harbour. It’s a pretty special place for kayaking, particularly in the off season, when I practically have the harbour to myself…along with the resident friendly harbour porpoise of course. This is a notoriously treacherous stretch of coast and not for the faint hearted, but its surprising just how sheltered it is once you get round the headland at Hartland Point and drop down to Clovelly.

Harbour Porpoise near Clovelly. Apologies about the image quality - ‘best camera is the one you have with you’ and all that…unless of course it’s a phone inside a misty Aquapac protector. Listen carefully and you’ll hear its ‘puff’. Love it…
