Brancaster Staithe

Stormy Skies - Brancaster Staithe

Given the choice I prefer kayaking on the coast over inland rivers most of which are essentially oversized drainage ditches. Long straight dull affairs with little hope of a view over the steep banks. Our coast on the other hand is such a beautiful part of this country and it is ever changing with the tide. It always amazes me just how much land is revealed by the falling tide a sometimes scary reminder of the power of nature. Occasionally seals can be found taking advantage of the low water level making it easier to hunt for food. Naturally inquisitive they like to come and have a look at you.
