Kathryn, Daniel, Fiona and Brett met me at Gairloch harbour for an adventure kayaking. We had super blue skies and sunshine for our session. It was so warm they all seemed happy enough to risk falling in!

Julie, Jamie and Eilidh met me for a nice sunny morning kayaking. We set off to explore the craggy coastline in the Kerry Bay area. A nice low tide gave us lots of starfish sightings dotted about on the rocks.

Lindsay, Neil and Kyle met me for an afternoon of paddling. It might not have been as sunny as it has been but that didn’t worry us, who needs the sun! We went for the nice stable sit on top kayaks and found their confidence inspiring nature helped us have a great time.

Amy and Shaun joined me as part of their NC500 adventure. Nerves were soon forgotten as we made our way around the craggy coastline of Inverewe Garden. Despite the grey skies it was a lovely morning splashing about.

Pete, Amber, George, Josh and Niamh came kayaking with me on, most of them have been out with me a three times before. Great to see them again and a fun time on the water as ever!

Sarah, Jonathan, Mathew, Daniel, Christopher and Alexander met me for a morning on the water. All the young folk looked asleep when they arrived, it didn’t take too much splashing about before they were fully awake – a wet sponge piranha to the face tends to sort sleepiness!

Matthew, Claire, Charlie, Rory and Ailsa met me in the afternoon for a fun session on the water. We learnt some skills, played some games, explored some coastline and spotted wildlife as we paddled about from Gairloch harbour.

Paul, Jemima, Kirsten, Ailsa and Rory met me again for another session on the water. A nice low tide kept everyone calm and quiet for a while as we watched the wildlife below the surface, plenty of starfish. It wasn’t too long till it was a noisy and wet session on the water!

Michael, Tyler, Stu, Helen and Duncan all met me for an afternoon kayaking. We explored the coastline and looked for wildlife. A seal stopped by to watch us at one point as we explored Boor rocks. Blue jellyfish are always nice to see too!

Marjoleine and Eva met me for a morning kayaking near Poolewe. For a while we focused on some paddling skills before exploring the coastline. Whilst we sat having a brew on a beach we spotted this little stoat watching us.

Emma, Laurent, Chloe and Rose came to kayak with me in the evening. In the middle of our session we had a visit from a huge ray or skate – something I’ve never seen happen before. We had a very large ray push a couple of our boats around a bit and make some big splashes – a bit of excitement!

Fergus, Callum, Andrew, Lewis and Tom joined me for an afternoon kayaking. They’re all friends from their uni days and are holidaying in the area together. A few marine biologists in the group so the pressure was on me to test them – luckily sea weed wasn’t one of their specialities!

Georgia, Kezia, Eli and Adam met me for some fun on the water. They’re friends of the King Blumenow group that I had out just a few days ago – both great groups out on the water.

Ainslie, Malcolm, Ava and Erin all joined me for some paddling from Poolewe. We went with a double sit on top, single and a small person boat. A fun session exploring the coastline and learning skills.

Jamie, Sam, Jake and Alfie joined me for an early evening paddle. We went with a couple of sit on tops and a couple of sea kayaks. The wind disappeared and we had a very calm paddle.

Ilse and Richard met me for a relaxing afternoon paddle. We explored the coastline around Inverewe Garden, stopping on a remote beach for a brew.

Colin, Casi, Enis and Lois spent a fun morning paddling from Poolewe with me. We had some calm waters to paddle on in the little boats and some sea kayaks.

Shoni, Michelle, Stephen, Jared, Chloe and Lee all met me for an evening kayaking. The haar from earlier cleared away giving us a lovely sunny evening. After a few bits of instruction and coaching everyone got the hang of their boats and nerves settled.
