Back in the Triassic and Jurassic periods, the area we now know as Mayo was actually under a shallow sea. Over millions of years, there was a lot of sedimentation, with limestone and calcareous deposits forming. Then, as tectonic activity lifted the land, you got exposed cliffs, rich in fossils. So, in a sense, the entire coastal landscape has been shaped over millinia by those ancient marine processes. It’s pretty incredible to think about!
Yesterdays paddle was extra special as conditions afforded our Level 2 sea paddlers the opportunity to witness for themselves this stunningly spectacular coastline. Some of the most experienced kayakers would say these cliffs are probably the best in Europe and we get to see and mingle around these majestic structures.
This is why people are so drawn to sea kayaking. We get to go to and see places very few people are privileged enough to experience.
