Kayak Journeys: May 2011

http://kayakjourneys.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Experiences of river, lake and sea kayaking. Sunday, 29 May 2011. After half an hour of hard paddling we finally reached the shelter of the headland, having learned a few lessons about the coast of Southern Ireland. The isolation makes it a perfect place to get away from it all - but if anything went wrong it would be a long time before help arrived! Tramore, Southern Ireland. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Blackpool Mill on the River Cleddau, West Wales. The Helford River, Cornwall. Tenby to Caldey Island.

The Awakening Conscience: December 2011

http://theawakeningconscience.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Sunday, 11 December 2011. Portrait of Margaret Ruskin aged 44 by. James Northcote RA, 1825. Some understanding of Ruskin's view of the world can be found by learning more about his mother, Margaret. Some accounts state that Margaret's father was a devout puritan named Captain Cox, of Yarmouth, a master mariner who died young. It may surprise people to know that Margaret was in fact born on the 2. The impact of this on Ruskin is hinted at in his letters on education, where he wrote " the first essential p...

Kayak Journeys: March 2011

http://kayakjourneys.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Experiences of river, lake and sea kayaking. Saturday, 26 March 2011. Derwent Water - Cumbria. Is the third biggest of the sixteen lakes in the. And is three miles long. It is also the widest a just over a mile wide, so a good kayak trip is to cross at the widest point. One of the most popular lakes for kayaking, there is a marina. At the Keswick end of the lake where you can hire canoes and kayaks. Easy launching at Kettlewell. We headed for a land mark at the widest point and had a good paddle across.

Kayak Journeys: Pembroke Dock to Cosheston Pill

http://kayakjourneys.blogspot.com/2012/06/pembroke-dock-to-cosheston-pill.html

Experiences of river, lake and sea kayaking. Tuesday, 26 June 2012. Pembroke Dock to Cosheston Pill. Most of the Cleddau estuary, including Cosheston Pill, is within the Pembrokeshire Marine Special Area of Conservation. With amazing biodiversity, waders and wildfowl. We had already scouted out Cosheston Pill as a destination and noted that it dries to a tiny stream, so definitely a trip for a rising tide. Flocks of Canada Geese flew low over the water as we approached Cosheston, where I was just able to...

Kayak Journeys: Up the creek – Landshipping to Millin

http://kayakjourneys.blogspot.com/2011/06/up-creek-landshipping-to-millin.html

Experiences of river, lake and sea kayaking. Sunday, 5 June 2011. Up the creek – Landshipping to Millin. One of the great things about kayak journeys is that you can see places that would be difficult or impossible by any other means. I am prepared to bet that even people who have lived in Pembrokeshire all their lives have never seen Millin Pill on the River Cleddau from the water. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Awakening Conscience: Ruskin's letter to The Times, 13th May 1851

http://theawakeningconscience.blogspot.com/2011/11/ruskins-letter-to-times-13th-may-1851.html

Saturday, 12 November 2011. Ruskin's letter to The Times, 13th May 1851. Now, Sir, presupposing that the intention of these men was to return to archaic art instead of to archaic honesty, your critic borrows Fuseli’s expression respecting ancient draperies—‘snapped’ instead of folded,’ and asserts that in these pictures there is a ‘ servile imitation of false perspective.’ To which I have just this to answer: —. Millais' ‘Mariana’ (1851). I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,.
