One summer, writer and musician, Jasper Winn set himself an
extraordinary task. He would kayak the whole way round Ireland - a
thousand miles - camping on remote headlands and islands, carousing
in bars and paddling clockwise until he got back where he started.
But in the worst Irish summer in living memory the pleasures of
idling among seals, fulmars and fishing boats soon gave way to
heroic struggles through storm-tossed seas ... and lock-ins playing
music in coastal pubs. Circling the country where he grew up,
Jasper reflects on life at the very fringes of Ireland, the nature
and lore of its seas, and his own eccentric upbringing - sprung
from school at age ten and left free to explore the countryside and
its traditional life. Charming, quietly epic, and with an
irresistible undertow of wit, Paddle is a low-tech adventure that
captures the sheer joy of a misty morning on Ireland's coast. As
the sun breaks through, you'll be longing to set off too.
