Holly and Bob joined me on Holly’s birthday for a paddle around. We explored the coastline from Poolewe whilst trying to keep in against the shoreline to be protected from the breeze. Not a bad way to celebrate on your birthday!

Kelly and Jit are having a trip around Scotland and wanted to experience it from the perspective of a kayak. We headed out around Inverewe garden and found a group of seals to watch as they swam about watching us.

Julie has been out with me before and we’d tried to get to Loch Maree in the past but the weather didn’t play ball. Today was a great day on the loch, calm waters, low wind and even some sunshine!

Isabel and Roger met me for a kayaking trip from Poolewe. It was Roger’s birthday, so this was a great way to celebrate. The wind picked up a little in the session giving us a some little waves to play with.

Nick and Sarah joined me on a very sunny and calm morning in Poolewe. I’d had to swap things around a bit to fit them in today because I had to cancel on them a couple of days ago because of a mountain rescue callout. I don’t like doing that but if I do then I do like to try to fit folk in at some point if possible.

John, Alex and Duncan met me in Gairloch to get out in the sea kayaks. We had a paddle around the coastline to Kerry Bay where we had a relaxing brew on the beach.

Georgia, Sarah and Freddie joined me to explore the craggy coastline around Mellon Charles. They’re staying in Loch Ewe Luxury Pods which is just along the road from where I live, the weather was suitable for paddling from Mellon Charles so we set off onto the sea as close as we could.

Caroline and Michael joined me as part of their tour around the highlands. The sunshine was lovely to paddle in and the breeze didn’t cause us any issues, we just pushed on through it on our return to the harbour.

Anna and Neil came out with me a couple of times last year and since then they’ve managed to move across here. We had a beautiful morning with blue skies and sunshine.

Stephen, Kim, Daniel and Fergus came for a kayak around Inverewe Garden this afternoon. The sun shone down on us as we paddled around and the light wind gave our arms a work out on the paddle back.

Mark, Chris, James, Beth and Jack all met me in Poolewe for an adventure on the water. Chris and James went for a canoe whilst the others opted for kayaks. The canoe team decided to take a refreshing dip part way though, it was such a sunny warm day it almost looked inviting enough to join them!

Amanda, Ed, Archie and Marsaili joined me for another adventure on the water. We’ve been out a lot in the past and often have very very wet sessions with lots of falling in (on purpose I should add). This time we went on the sea kayaks instead of the sit on tops and explored around Eilean Horrisdale.

Katherine, Matthew and Adam met me in Badachro for an explore around the bay. John had planned to join us too but sadly he had to stay on land sorting out their cars tire. They chose the sea kayaks for a change because they’re more use to sit on tops.

Allison and Will joined me for another paddle, we’ve been most places around here over the years but had never made it over to Longa. We set off with some lumpy, bumpy waves which stayed with us around the south side of the island until we got to the north side. The wind then died back and the seas calmed to millpond levels. With a nice low tide we could spot lots of wildlife around the shoreline. It was so calm we ended up nipping around the island for a second time to explore the areas we hadn’t earlier due to the waves.

Ben, Beth, Will, Alison, Emile, Luce, Cecile and Oliver all joined me for a busy and fun afternoon on the water. We went off in a mix of sea kayaks and sit on top kayaks to improve our paddling skills, have some fun splashing about, spot some wildlife and enjoy the scenery.

Inga, Shona and Niketa joined me for a relaxing paddle around the craggy coastline of Inverewe garden. They decided on the sea kayaks and we set off to explore the area.

Jo, Mark and Billy joined me for a fun morning out in the canoes. Billy jumped in my boat and we set off around the craggy coastline of Inverewe, spotting seals and birds as we paddled around.

Matthew, Jude, Valerie, Marie, Luis and Carlos joined me for an afternoon on the water. We had very little wind so it was a very relaxing paddle around the coastline.
