Innholdsfortegnelse for November 2020 i Coast

There’s a nip in the air and we know autumn is on its way. As the leaves turn, patterning the horizon with a golden hue and the days draw in, no doubt we will take this time to reflect on what has been a strange year for all of us, with so many new challenges to our health, our businesses and our wellbeing. In this issue we hear the story of what life was like for one group of island dwellers, suddenly cut off from the mainland and their source of income, and how they came together to create an online business and an even stronger community to get through lockdown (p32). We’ve also explored our yearning to return to the sea and to ground ourselves in nature by putting…

Between them, photographers Ross Hoddinott and Ben Hall have earned many accolades for their landscape, nature and wildlife photography. Based in North Cornwall, Ross is best known for his macro close-up images and evocative landscapes. He’s the author of nine books on the subject and his work is regularly seen in the photographic press. With a studio in Cheshire, Ben, on the other hand, specialises in wildlife photographs and contributes to numerous magazines in the UK and abroad.

BELLYBOARDING IN CORNWALL We very much enjoyed the bellyboarding article in the August edition of coast. We are both in our early 70s and have been bellyboarding for nearly 50 years. For me, this has been since family holidays as a child, then with my husband when our children came along as a family. My husband and I used wooden belly-boards in the early 1970s and now have two newer plywood boards which we bought around five years ago when we went to Cornwall and enjoyed entering the World Belly-boarding Championships for two consecutive years. This was then held at Chapel Porth, near St Agnes on the north coast, more recently it has relocated to Perranporth. We’re not sure if this event is continuing, however, but an article in your…

All promise sea views and an adventure to keep you fit while resting your mind. DEBBIE NORTH Debbie has always had a love of walking, whether on mountains, coast, or countryside.

As swimming continues to rise in popularity, this book is a powerful voice in the conversation around the enduring thrill of a dip. From the unique history of swimming in England to the story of a swim club in a war zone in Baghdad, author and swimmer Bonnie Tsui explores the human relationship with swimming and our innate connection with water. Using themes of community, competition, wellbeing and survival, we meet a cast of water warriors from across the world including Olympian athletes and an Icelandic fisherman who survived a six-hour swim in the wintry Atlantic.

I grew up in landlocked Shropshire, but Dad loved to sail so we had a boat on the Menai Strait. After finishing university at Bristol in 2010 I decided to walk the whole of the South West Coast Path and discovered a lot of wonderful places en route, such as the Roseland Peninsula where I now live. Afterwards, I volunteered at a boatyard on the Dart where I heard about the tall ships moored at Charlestown Harbour. I went there to help out for two weeks and have been sailing them ever since – I started as a deckhand, then became ship’s cook, now I like to do rigging, I find it really relaxing. In 2019 I moved to Cornwall permanently and took up the job of vessel manager at…

I am inspired by stories, both my own and others’. I collect information and thoughts and experiences from friends and people I meet in my everyday life, and I squirrel them away for use at some time in the future. News and current affairs constantly feed me with ideas, and social media – in all its forms – is an ever-increasing and ever-changing source of inspiration. I created the illustration ‘Masks or Jellyfish?’ (opposite) as a response to the increase in pollution that using disposable masks is having on our oceans. I want it to ask people to think before bulk-buying single-use medical masks. Take a moment to consider the impact that decision will have. We’ve all seen white or blue masks disposed of outdoors, littering streets, green spaces and…

Just 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly are the pearls of the South West, an archipelago of small islands fringed with white sands and clear, turquoise waters. The vibe is laid back, unhurried and close to nature on the five inhabited islands of St Mary’s, Tresco, St Martin’s, Bryher and St Agnes. Among the 2,000 permanent residents live many creative people – artists, photographers, potters and designers, drawn by the unique beauty of the islands and the inspiration they find there. On the whole, they make their living during the summer, when holidaymakers come to experience some of that island magic, too. For a craft community so dependent on tourism to survive, lockdown on 23 March was bad news, yet out of it came a…
