Rose, Michael, Bella, Ciara and Ethan spent the afternoon kayaking with me. We had a fun session paddling about, improving our strokes, playing games and a wee bit of swimming for some!

Michael, Angela, Jessica and Julian joined me for a session on the water. It was a wee bit of a change from the few days of sunshine and warmth – grey skies and a bit of a breeze. We ignored the weather and still had a great time in canoes and kayaks!

Richard and Ellie joined me for an afternoon exploring in the sea kayaks. They’re up doing the NC500 in there campervan all the way from Kent. It was a warm sunny day, the met office reporting the hottest temperature in the UK not too far from where we paddled.

Carol and Chris joined me on a hot and sunny morning. They had been given a Ewe Canoe voucher for Christmas and have spent the months since looking forward to their adventure. They opted for the sit on top kayaks and found them far more comfortable than kayaks that they’d been in before.

Ben, Fiona, Hazel and Lucy joined me for the afternoon. The wind picked up a wee bit this afternoon but everyone paddled well meaning it wasn’t a problem at all. The wind didn’t blow the sunshine away and we had a glorious sunny time with fantastic views. Hazel and Lucy enjoyed a dip at the end – the water was too chilly for me though!

Georgie, Lewis, Betty, Wilf and Gus spent a lovely sunny morning exploring with me. Gus started in the front of my canoe, swapping with Wilf later on and then I had the pleasure of both of them. Betty was in one of my little kayaks by herself, kayaking is super way for her to celebrate her 9th birthday!

An early evening session with Lisa. She’s been travelling the NC500 and was keen to try something a bit different. Seeing the NC500 from the water gives a completely different perspective on it.

I had an afternoon off from paying customers to take out some of my scouts, first time we’ve met for ages. Lovely calm conditions and a nice low tide so we could spot lots of wildlife under the water as we paddled about.

Claire bought Eddy a Ewe Canoe voucher for Christmas, sounds like an ideal present! We had good weather for our morning exploring the calm water.

Nadia and Clare enjoyed a peaceful paddle around the coastline with a nice low tide. Spring low tides mean we get to see lots of wildlife along the shoreline, plenty of starfish clinging onto the rocks! We even managed to spot an otter. Otters are very shy and if they spot us they’ll make a dash for it.

Naomi and Chloe arrived on a sunny morning for a relaxed morning kayaking. Naomi had moved to the east coast in the last year and has been keen to get out kayaking. Chloe was up for a holiday from London, so it was a perfect time to get out paddling.

Catriona and Peter came kayaking with me on a lovely hot sunny afternoon. They’d been out on the glass bottomed boat earlier on in the day, so were having a very watery day!

Jon and Jude had a morning off from cycling to use their arms instead. We paddled about in some super sunshine, exploring the coastline.

Viv and Mark were staying in the Gate Lodge at Inverewe Garden, so it was great to be able to show them Inverewe from a different perspective. Kayaking around the shore means you get to see bits that most folk never do.

Simon and Sarah were staying in Badachro for the week and fancied getting out on the water. The session started very ‘atmospherically’ – drizzly and grey – but it soon dried up and was a great session on the water.

Marina, Matthew, Rebecca and Donald had an afternoon paddling around Inverewe garden with me. They were heading around the NC500 but ensured they had time to have an adventure exploring the coastline from the other side.

Dave wanted to learn a few skills and techniques so we headed out to do some of that whilst enjoying the scenery and surroundings.

Andy and Jacqui joined me for a morning paddle from Gairloch. Keen to learn skill, about kit and safe paddling since Andy is planning on buying his own boat. A low tide meant we spotted lots of urchins and starfish.
