点评:We holidayed near Berwick Upon Tweed and I wanted to do some sea kayaking with my teenaged daughter whilst in the area. I have some sea kayaking experience normally paddling the North Wales coast area and Anglesey so I'm not familiar with the North East coast region.
When its just me an my daughter I tend to be risk adverse in my planning practically on unfamiliar seas which can hold back my daughter's desire for adventure. Because of this and the wind conditions not being entirely favourable for our stay I decided to look for a local Sea Kayak Guide. My intention was for my daughter to have an exciting, challenging but safe experience beyond what they'd normally have with just me.
Ollie was bang on the money in understanding what we wanted and tailored to our brief and our kayaking abilities brilliantly. The sea trip from Eyemouth to Berwick was perfectly executed and his knowledge of the surrounding seas and local wildlife, which was in abundance , was superb. We learnt a lot, including a few little nuggets to add to my own sea kayaking development, despite it not necessarily being a coaching session. I felt confident enough to relax and enjoy the trip knowing my daughter was in safe hands with Ollie's guidance. We had an awesome day, or as we say in Wales, Gwych!
翻译:我们在特威德河畔贝里克附近度假,我想和十几岁的女儿在当地体验一下海上皮划艇。我有一些海上皮划艇经验,通常在北威尔士海岸和安格尔西岛划船,所以对东北海岸地区不太熟悉。
当只有我和女儿时,我倾向于在陌生的海域制定计划,避免风险,这会抑制女儿的冒险欲望。由于这个原因,再加上风力条件不太利于我们出行,我决定找一位当地的海上皮划艇向导。我希望女儿能拥有一次刺激、有挑战性但又安全的体验,这比通常只有我一个人时她们能拥有的体验要好。
Ollie 非常了解我们的需求,并根据我们的要求和皮划艇水平进行了精心的定制。从艾茅斯到贝里克的海上之旅非常完美,他对周围海域和当地丰富的野生动物的了解非常透彻。我们学到了很多东西,包括一些对我的海上皮划艇发展有帮助的小知识,尽管这并非一次真正的教练课程。我知道女儿在奥利的指导下安全无虞,所以我有足够的信心放松身心,享受这次旅行。我们度过了美好的一天,或者用威尔士人的话说,Gwych!
