Stick Cottage > Kayaker/Walker Service
Kayaker/Walker ServiceIf you are a kayaker interested in circumnavigating Anglesey, or a walker who fancies the coastal path, you may be interested in our pick-up service.The service allows you to undertake linear trips, safe in the knowledge that you can be collected from any suitable point at the end of the day, or some interim point if conditions become unfavourable. Simply let us know when and where you want to be collected and we will pick you up and ferry you back to your transport, start point or Stick Cottage itself. Sea KayakingAnglesey and the adjacent coasts of North Wales, together with the Lleyn Peninsula, offer some of the best sea kayaking in the UK.We are happy to discuss matters relating to weather, tides, local launch and recovery sites. Many paddlers complete the circumnavigation each year but not always in a consistent direction or via contiguous sections of the coastline. Accurate tidal planning always plays an important part in a successful trip (see Venturers Yacht Club Pilot for further details). A new project to provide trip plans for Sea Kayakers along the Welsh Coast is starting with Anglesey. You can find more information at SeaKayakWales - The All Wales Sea Kayak Trip Planner Top WalkingThe Anglesey Coastal Path offers 125 miles of superb walking amongst dramatic scenery, through some of the 60 Sites of Special Scientific Interest and four National Nature Reserves to be found on Anglesey. The path was opened in 2006 and has now been enjoyed by thousands of nature lovers, who enjoy open spaces and sea views. It is not uncommon for walkers (and kayakers) to spot seals, sharks, rays and bottlenose dolphins around the Anglesey coastline.Route-finding is generally straightforward, with most of the walking being fairly steady, although the steep cliffs along the North coast can be quite a surprise after the sandy beaches and coves of a lot of the rest of the island. The Isle of Anglesey Walking Festival takes place every summer at the beginning of June and encompasses both walks (to suit different abilities) and talks on the history of some of Anglesey's villages, including tales of shipwrecks, industrial heritage, cannibalism, smugglers and ghosts. Why not time your stay in Stick Cottage with the Festival and discover the history of the island at the same time as enjoying some guided walks? Charges for Kayaker/Walker ServiceAs a guide to costs, a normal end of day pick-up somewhere on Anglesey, will cost £15 per car load (4 people).Please feel free to contact us if you would like general information about this service before your visit to Stick Cottage or if you already have specific plans for pick-up points. |
