Up at 5:40, on road a bit before 6am. 9 miles run at a smidge under 11minute mile which is okay.
Is it me or does my route look like as a seal barking at the moon (not sure if seals bark but you know what I mean!).
Got back, kids all still asleep. Started treating top of kayak with 303 Aerospace Protectant spray which combats UV damage from the Sun and also restores a little of the colour. I think it's worked nicely.
Hoping to go have a play on the kayak up at Carsington later. If Phil ever gets up!
Eventually he did. We went Donnington Market when he was ready. Then up to Carsington and it was grand. Phil, Lucy, mesen and brother Andrew all had a go and guess what? It didn't even sink!
Phil pounding the waves:
Have got a half width roof box to pick up tomorrow from Cheadle. I met the missus at the Wayman at Threapwood - it's gone to hell in a handcart now:
I even remember playing there a couple of times supporting amongst others the Phil Littler Band! Fame indeed!

Woke up way knackered but not to worry - 2.5 mile short run done.
Tuesday 3rd July 2012
Tired again, funny nights sleep following a funny day. Such is life.
Steady five miles at 10:13 pace. All ok.
Made a sort of paddle leash - its not perfect but it'll do for now!
Wednesday 4th July 2012
No exercise thus far. Couldn't find any bloomin shorts. Took Phil to work at 5:45, dropped his lunch off an hour later (buffoon). Into work for 8:20 funny sort of day so far, didn't mention it but it's 5 years and two days since I last smoked. Am I over it yet? No.

Went work at 5am as was leaving early. Did work. Went to Lucy's parent's review, she done very well indeed. Got back got loaded up with camping gear and kayak went Wales. Marvellous weather when got there. Fished evening tide - a flattie and a dogfish for my trouble.
Friday 6th July 2012
Weather gone bad! Rained proper full on all day. Got out on the Kayak good fun.
Went to Summit to Sea to look at some Kayak stuff. Lunch at the Wavecrest Cafe - very nice. Weather cleared up a little so fished evening tide - dogfish city.
Saturday 7th July 2012
Weather gone good. Went out on kayak.
Went fishing at Llanbadrig - didn't catch owt but had fun none-the-less - saw porpoises for first time in Wales - you may be able to see them in the pics below if you click on em to zoom. They stuck about for maybe half an hour when the tide was really racing - not sure if they were after fish or what - we certainly didn't connect with any!
Barbecue to finish off at night. Think we fished the low tide as well but only had marginal success.
