19/10/2010 - Coasteering in Sark: 2nd trip 9 October

Practice jumpsOur second trip to Sark followed a similar pattern to the first trip..meet at the White Rock Cafe for breakfast and introductions, the time spent here is valuable as the team can get to know each other and take on the necessary fuel for the day!  Kit was issued (including the all important 5/10’s) and we boarded the boat to Sark.  Pierre was there again along with a number of West Coasters including Lauren from Intransit, fresh from  coasteering in Shetland and a few past customers keen to tackle Sark. Guides were Ant and Matt.

The prevailing wind dictated that we would combine routes 15 and 16 in Latrobes guide so after kitting up in the ‘Dog house’ we had a 15 minute hike in the sun to the Pilcher monument and our entry point. There were plenty of opportunities for the group to try jumps and gully swimming in the swell on our way to the Victor Hugo cave.  A good swim led to our opportunity to very carefully explore the Goulliot caves and the amazing sights contained within before the climb back.  A pint at the Belair and some stew supplied by Kristina from the Petit Poule Bistro soon revived aching limbs!

Thanks to all in Sark again for such great hospitality, the interest is building for many more trips and the help from locals will be invaluable in providing these trips. More pictures on our Facebook page http://bit.ly/cVsuPh
