Spring Tides

In Cornwall the big high tides are evening and morning, allowing us to sail and row 'Outdoor Girl' far inland. Oak woodland overhangs small beaches and forgotten stone quays, salt marshes hide ancient waterways where Romans once traded and curlews and owls call.

During the Covid-19 pandemic each solo customer or group of 2 has their own tent so we can sneak ashore like a smuggler and find a grassy glade to camp. Prices & Dates

Neap Tides

Neap tides occur twice a month and in Cornwall offer high water in the middle of the day. A great chance to show off your new found skills. Sail, row or scull into harbour with grace and seamanship. Drop a stern anchor and sail up to the beach.

Smaller tidal ranges gives us more beach to camp on and a chance to seek day time anchorages in inaccessible coves for wild swimming. Pick your campsite for later, set sail again or collect wood for campfires and chilling after the day visitors have gone home.

Winter & Spring Expeditions

How outdoorsy are you? We all find excuses not to be outside when skies are grey but sometimes it is also brilliantly blue and then you kick yourself for not getting out there, or going away for the weekend.

In Cornwall we rarely get frosts and the locals love having our coastline to ourselves in autumn, winter and spring. A gentle way to intrude on that bliss is to sail with a local like Debbie as your adventure buddy.
