Beautiful sunny/rainy/cloudy weekend full of a few

Beautiful sunny/rainy/cloudy weekend full of a few of my favourite things - swimming, paddling, cooking, foraging, friends, stargazing and camping by the river @newwwharfcampsite with @the_life_of_a_lampshade_maker ⛺️

🌳 Loved this spot by the river Adur in the South Downs - it has private river access and feels like such an escape even though it’s not far from Horsham and Brighton 🚉

💙You can rent kayaks and SUPs from @thekayakcoach on site or bring your own, and the characterful @fountainashurst pub is in walking distance 🍻

Why is it that we always feel so good after a day

Why is it that we always feel so good after a day at the beach?

🌊Spending time by the sea leaves me feeling calm, inspired and creative

🙌I can’t wait to share my beautiful new Paddling Madeleine blog sharing adventure and wellbeing inspiration with you, coming very soon...

🌅 This shot was taken on a golden hour walk from East to West Wittering (one of my favourite stretches of sand along the south coast) by the lovely @sophritchie_ , the @srdesign_ldn design pro behind the site - right before a well deserved dinner @drifters_ew after plenty of hard work behind our screens 👩‍💻

Hope to see you at the water’s edge very soon 🌊

Gorgeous 6am start this week to a four day sup surf coaching trip with Frazer Stewart & co @brightonkitesurfandsupacademy after a kip @gwithianfarmcampsite ⛺️ ✨🚎

Making the most of imperfect conditions in Cornwall for the week and feeling humbled by the Atlantic with lots to learn on this beauty of a Pure Wood @fatstickboards board in the wind and waves 🌊

Beautiful day today exploring somewhere new ☀️

Beautiful day today exploring somewhere new ☀️

Landed on this idyllic bank after a sunny (but windy 🌬) paddle from Barcombe Mills car park to The Anchor pub and back again with the wind behind us along the river Ouse near Lewes,
looking out for spring lambs and ducklings along the way 🙌 🐑 🦆

Perfect spot for a little sunbathe after 2021’s first night of camping under canopy and stars 🌟 🏕

You never step in the same river twice ☀️

🌎 EARTH DAY 2021 🗺 Earth Day's mission is

🌎 EARTH DAY 2021

🗺 Earth Day's mission is to diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement worldwide

🌍Earth Day seeks to encourage people to act to drive transformational change, holding those responsible for the world's environmental crisis to account, while also calling for bold, creative solutions

🏄‍♀️I’ve found solace and wellbeing in the natural world through paddleboarding and adventures anywhere there’s water - paddling on rivers, canals, lakes and the sea has given me respect for the cycle of the seasons, our precious wildlife habitats, and the inevitable turning of the tide

🌏 This year, I want to learn more about what people in the paddling community can do to give back to, preserve and protect nature

👍There’s some amazing organisations in the UK doing brilliant work, from @saveourrivers and @surfersagainstsewage to @paddleagainstplastic

📲 Get in touch if you have any views on or stories about paddleboarding and the environment - I’d love to hear about them!

🌎Today, you can visit the official Earth Day site @earthdaynetwork to learn about the world's largest environmental movement and what you can do to make every day Earth Day (via link in bio)
