Acquiring the Industry Standard mark means that Coastal Spirit is following guidelines regarding COVID-19.  We have updated our risk assessments and have also completed the 'Good to Go' Visit Britain/Wales, Industry Standard. 

 

We take the health and safety of both our team and clients very seriously, continuously reviewing and revising our operations and procedures based on current Welsh Government advice.  This page will change as new information develops. 

 

All legal restrictions have now been removed as part of the prime ministers "Living with Covid" plan.  We're unable to refund if you're unable to attend due to illness caused by Covid and were unable to fill your place.

 

We will reschedule your booking for free if Government legislation mean you or your group are unable to attend your session.  We require notice of this within 48 hours of such legislation being announced.

 

If you develop symptoms of Covid-19, post-course inform us. We will forward information to all course participants, as part of a contact track & trace system and no one will be named in this process.

 

I am sure you appreciate we are trying to run a small independent buisness and cancelations effect our business as a whole. 

 

We aim to take a progressive, supportive approach to all coaching sessions, with a resulting low risk. We cannot eliminate all risks, whether related to the sea kayaking environment or to Covid; however, we are confident that our safety protocols/risk assessments are robust and flexible.

 

We would like to say a big THANK YOU for your understanding during these last couple of years.  We have been truly impressed by the positivity and support from past and present clients and we are pleased to be able to welcome you back to Coastal Spirit and the Anglesey coastline.

 

Whether you're looking to escape to the coast, breathe in the fresh sea air, hear the cry of a seagull again, you can relax in the knowledge that your well being is essential to us.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us for advice.

 

Thanks,

Roger

 

 

 

 

 

Courses and expeditions
Isle of Harris Exploration
The Isle of Harris is part of Lewis and is rich in natural beauty, sandy beaches and stunning wildlife. The golden eagle and white tailed sea eagles are highly likely to be seen most days.

We will be based at a campsite and if the weather is super settled we can decide if we do an overnight wild camp. During the last two years we've at least managed two nights wild camping.

You need to be an experienced moderate water paddler who can manage Beaufort winds f4/5 and occasionally stronger. You're also happy paddling a loaded sea kayak for 20km

We meet up on the afternoon of the 30th of April and leave on the morning of the 6th of May 2027. Zoe Robinson and Roger will be delivering the course. Both are advanced coaches and advanced sea kayak leaders.

Outer Hebrides by Tall Ship ... Intention St Kilda!
The Outer Hebrides are an outstanding and beautiful island chain. Sometimes called the Western Isles. Our intention weather permitting is to sail the 60NM to St Kilda, set in the deep Atlantic. 'Lady of Avenel' our mother ship and floating home - this is a lifetime experience with two adventures in one!

With Lori, Zoe and Roger as your advanced leaders. We meet on the afternoon of the 6th of June and load our sea kayaks onto 'Lady of Avenel' and kit into our cabins. You need to arrive on the 4th of June. This allows for any disruption with the CalMac ferry and a rest day, after a long drive). We arrive back in Castlebay on the 12th June.

You need to book and arrange your accommodation for the night of the 4/5th June and the 12th June.

There are two hotels, a bunkhouse in Castlebay and a short drive to Wavecrest campsite, which is where Lori, Zoe and Roger will be van camping.

Stella King

"There are a number of wonderful things about Roger. He has a very light touch in his coaching, and he's always smiling and encouraging you to relax into the enjoyment of the day"

Tavi Murray

"And I'm probably learning more from his mentoring now, as my paddling horizons expand, than ever before. I can't count how many questions I've asked... and he's answered. Roger has the knack of making that suggestion that radically changes your thinking and moves your paddling on in leaps and bounds."

Simon Turnbull

"I've just completed a two day 4* Sea kayak training course with Roger. Having been coached by Roger in the past, I choose to do this course with Roger because I knew I would get a great deal from the course. My expectations were certainly well and truly met"

We come recommended
We both really enjoyed the week - learnt a lot and had a lot of fun... spent the last few weeks raving about it to whoever'll listen and would love to do some more kayaking ... Thanks for being such a fabulous guide and instructor!
