Active 4 seasons July Gang Trip

Ollie had planned a trip from Eyemouth to Coldingham Bay for us. The wind was F6 from the West which kept us pinned to the shore for most of the day. Nothing wrong with that though because some of the most interesting coastline is hidden behind the rocks. This bit of coastline is very exposed to on shore winds and getting so close in was a bit of a treat. We  even managed a spot of fishing in Coldingham Bay and procured our lunch. A cooking challenge was set  and a  trio of cooking methods were adopted on the shore . The good old BBQ, frying pad and a blob of garlic butter won by a scrape. The catch was washed down by a nice drop of Ledaig kindly donated by the man with the pre-packed Sainsbury's  sarnys, aka George.

There's some lovely rock hopping to be had on this stretch of coast line.



Some wilted Sugar kelp and 2 sides of freshly caught Mackerel..V..
 nice!!

Lunch was quickly secured.

Brian's smoker loaded with oak dust and a few sides of Coldinghams finest.

Nice Cag George, looks the same as Ollie's one...?

After what had already been a full day of excitement and entertainment Ollie took us back to Weasel Loch to try our hand at a spot of Coasteering. This  started well but turned into a "let's see who can jump from the highest ledge" challenge. Ollie, Brian and I all scored 9.6 on our first dives but Ollie was awarded a bonus point for artistic flare upon entry on his second...nowt new there then!



Looking down, the highest jump was another 2 meters above here.

It's a flying Santa...and he's about to land on my head!

Where's yer magic carpet?

It's going to hurt..!

Don't do it, ....Oh go on then ...!

Another great day on the water courtesy of Ollie Jay and Active-4-seasons. Look him up if you fancy an adventure on the sea or even a quiet bimble down the river in a canoe. Ollie will tailor a trip to suit your needs. You can relax in the knowledge that your in safe hands and you will always leave for home wearing a big smile...!
