Peter, Liz, Millie, Tasha, Amber and George came for a kayak. Half of them had paddled with me last year and still seemed to remember me pushing them in vividly – I’m sure I’m never that nasty!

Kath, Darran, Thomas and Rebecca came kayaking with me in the afternoon, it might not have been a sunny blue sky day but the seals brightened up the day by popping up to watch us as we paddled.

Nick, Louise, Adam and Chloe spent the morning with me exploring the coastline from Gairloch. Louise chose to join me in a canoe whilst the other opted for kayaks, my small person kayaks being ideal for Adam and Chloe.

Arnie, Gina and Ossian spent a damp afternoon on the water with me from Badachro. Despite the liquid sunshine we had a great time exploring the rocky coastline and spotting seals watching us.

Sarah, Simon, Isabel and Isaac met me for a fun session learning to paddle, having fun and exploring the seas and wildlife.

Michael, Paul, Tom, Grace, Lisa, Jayne and Oliver spent the afternoon having fun in kayaks with me. Michael and Jayne have been out with me before, Michael’s B&B being a little south down in Lochcarron.

Katie and Spencer both chose different boats to use on our trip, Katie deciding that the canoe was for her and Spencer opting for a sit on top kayak. We had another day of calm seas which made it easy for us to explore the coastline.

The Mitchell group came out for an afternoon exploring the area by water on a mixture of sea kayaks and sit on top kayaks. They all had different levels of experience in kayaks but everyone soon got to grips with their boat, controlling them easily around the rocky coastline.

The Clenaghan clan met me on a grey day near the Shieldaig Lodge Hotel. The still water and low tide helped us spot wildlife as we explored the craggy coastline of little Loch Shieldaig.

Lesley and Magda came paddling with me on a very still and calm day from Gairloch harbour. The clear and still water allowed us to see plenty of wildlife below, like this Spiny Starfish and Lion’s Maine Jellyfish.

Greg, Jane and Duncan met me for the afternoon at Gairloch. We had a fun time paddling around the coastline, some of us ene enjoying a dip in the chilly water!

Matthieu and Juliette joined me on a sunny morning for a canoe along the crystal clear water from Gairloch. The water allowed us to see plenty of wildlife below the surface and above the water we spotted a sea eagle soaring around overhead.

Nicola, Kadya, Mossy, Tsui and Ruby came for a paddle from near the Shieldaig Lodge hotel. Nicola, Kadya and Mossy have been out with me quite a few times over the years. We saw plenty of seals on our trip around the coastline along with plenty of other creatures from the depths.

Kathryn, Steve, Bev, James and Lucy joined me on a damp morning at Shieldaig. It might have been damp but we all had a great time paddling around the exciting coastline in individual kayaks.

Alison, David, Nathaniel, Caitlyn and Tristan joined me for a fun morning paddling around the coastline. The nice low tide enabled us to spot starfish, urchins as well as the normal seals and jellyfish.

Heather, Ellie and Tara joined me again for another session. They’d been out with me a couple of years ago and since they’re back in the area they made sure they booked again.

Pauline joined me again for another session, this time with Damien. We explored the coastline at a low tide so we were able to spot lots of sea urchins and starfish.

Ian, Wendy Euan and Angus came out for a paddle to explore the craggy coastline of Wester Ross. It’s quite different to the normal boating they do down in Norfolk!
