Some careful consideration was given to time and tides as the streams in the mouth of Ramsey Sound and around the headlands can get pretty rapid, but we were paddling at neaps and conditions couldn't have been better for a trip to Ramsey Island. This turned out to be a day of making right decisions and will live in my mind for a very long time to come. One of our books suggests that a paddle around Ramsey is one of the best days paddling you'll have in the UK. We only went across to the southern tip and back, but it still made for one of my best days on the water, ever. The seals were fun, but the dolphins were something else entirely! The scenery wasn't bad either and the paddling (given the strength of the current and overfalls off Meinin Duon at the south western tip of Ramsey) was, ermm, interesting as well (there are no photos of the interesting paddling!). Of course, we had to celebrate our return with yet more tea and fruitcake with our new found friends at the Porth Clais carpark...
