Fantastic tuition from Stewart and a great, confident day out on the water. Equipment is first rate. Would use again
Time to add a bit more to my previous review since I can't post another one - we've been coming up here now to do courses with Phil once or twice per year (whenever we can) and have progressed from complete beginner to inter-vanced level in that time and it's been brilliant. Phil is great, he has top quality gear (I've realised this is actually pretty rare, since getting into sea kayaking and doing it on holidays - most operators have big plastic stable boats which saves on safety issues and needing to do rescues, but don't handle so well and are nowhere near as much fun to paddle in). Cannot recommend kayaking with Phil enough, and the whole experience is great - excellent low cost accommodation, amazing food at the on-site pub. Every course of been on I've met up with paddlers who have been before and returned, that's because kayaking with Phil is brilliant (Stewart who does the 5 day courses is also a top guy).Really good weekend - Phil is a friendly, relaxed and very competent instructor with good knowledge of the local area who led our group with ease and skill. We all had an excellent time despite rainy weather and I can't wait to try more sea kayaking. Try the food at the Paddler's Return pub, it's excellent. Good value course and loads of fun. Quality gear provided, just turn up. Highly recommended.
Time for me to share my experiences as I have now been with Phil for the fifth time and it keeps getting better. Anglesey is rightly seen as the Mecca for sea kayakers and therefore full of big names and big personalities in the business. I would challenge you to find a more laid back, supportive and qualified coach than Phil. Once record holder for the round Britain paddle, zoologist by training and just generally a cool dude, he supports, educates and entertains everyone in his groups to the max, depending on what you want to get out of it. His equipment is absolute top notch, his local knowledge second to none and I have not seen anyone finishing the course with anything other than a big, albeit quite tired, grin on their faces. If you haven't been on Penrhyn Maw or the swellies with Phil, you haven't kayaked. See you again in June, Phil! Thanks for passing me for the 3 star assessment.
It was really really excellent :D
Absolutely brilliant! Phil knows what you're capable of (which is way beyond what you think you are!) and I for one ended each day amazed by what I'd done. Chilled out and nicely paced time on the water, taking in the tremendous variety that Anglesey offers, makes these weeks very addictive!
