Swimming badgers and majestic whales are among the many kinds of wildlife encountered at close quarters by kayaker Rupert Kirkwood during his voyages along the coast, rivers and creeks of the South West.

Rupert, who has paddled all 1,150 miles of the region’s coastline and waterways, will be giving a talk about his experiences on Friday, November 25, at Cawsand Congregational Hall.

The talk is being organised by the Rame Peninsula Beach Care group (RPBC) and will be followed by the group’s AGM.
