Continuing the theme of meeting thoroughly lovely people, Geoff and I met up with Eric Innes yesterday. Eric paddled solo around Britain in 2009 and when he found out about our expedition he got in touch to offer his experience. So it was great to meet up with him in person yesterday. We first caught up on the beach at Blackpool, Eric took our lunch order and ran off to the shops so we didn’t need to stop long in case we lost the benefit of the tide.
We then paddled down to Fleetwood to set us up nicely for crossing Morecombe Bay. Amazingly Eric was there waiting for us. He took us shopping and then joined us for a meal that we cooked at our bivvy. We shared paddling stories and a bottle of wine before getting our heads down.
Eric thanks so much. Top bloke!
