A busy day with this group! Rupal, Ojas, Aarzv, Aarnshi, Amiti, Hasdik, Ishani, Shemin, Niraj, Pooja, Preksha and Shubh all had fun on the water with me. Half in the morning and half in the afternoon. They live in Manchester/Canada/India and are spending their holiday together exploring the north of Scotland. What better way to see the Scottish coastline than from the water!
Molly and Reid enjoyed their paddle on Loch Ewe, spotting beautiful jellyfish as we had fun paddling across the waves. A little different to their home in New York!
Joe and Maxime spent some time enjoying paddling around the rugged coastline at Poolewe and spotting seals swim around us.
Tom, Isla, Grace and Sophie enjoyed exploring the rocky passageways and caves along the coastline.
Nick, Cynthia, Demi and Xavier spent a morning having fun on the water and exploring some of the rocky coastline at Mellon Charles.
James, Carrie, Freya and Thomas joined me for an afternoon splashing about on Loch Ewe. We had a slight bit of rain but we hardly noticed as we had fun paddling about!
Linda, Harry, George, David and Lesley had a nice afternoon paddling from Poolewe and around the rugged shore of Inverewe Garden. It’s a different view of Inverewe that most folk don’t get to see.
Karen and Ian spent the afternoon exploring the loch and watching the wildlife. Ian’s keen to get a boat so we spent plenty of time chatting about boats kit and safety.
Amanda, Ed, Archie and Marsaili joined me again for another session on the water. They’re looking at getting some boats so they wanted to practice rescue skills so that they can keep safe – I wasn’t just being lazy making them rescue themselves!
Alan, Cora and Aidan have been out with me a few times before and their fleet of boats is increasing. Alan has been visiting the area since he was young and has always looked across to Gruinard Island, it’s dark past makes it a tempting place to go. The island has a fantastic west coast to explores with caves, arches and wildlife. To finish the day a sea eagle flew over us.
Gabi, Mark, Sofia, Francesca and Henry enjoyed an exciting afternoon on the water. Henry and Francesca joined me in my canoe as my crew – it’s great having a crew to do all the paddling!
Chris, Allison, Evyn and Dylan explored the rugged coastline in a mixture of kayaks and canoes. Improving our paddling by playing games meant it was a fun filled session.
Emily, Sam, Alfie and Joshie had a fun filled afternoon in the water and sometimes even on the boats! Sitting watching the seals is always a fascinating thing to do.
Katie, Mhairi and Bek spent a fun morning learning kayak skills, playing games and exploring the interesting coastline.
Alasdair, Alison, Alice and Finlay spent a fun afternoon splashing about by Inverewe garden. Two of them made a bit more of a splash as they decided jumping in was a good idea!
Terina, Adrian, Iain and Andrew joined me yet again for a fun session on the water. They’ve been coming out with me on their annual holiday up here for years, always nice to see them!
Grant, Frances, Robert, Daisy, James, James, Sam and Juliet all had a great time exploring the coastline and making a splash from Poolewe.
Chris, Katie, Henry and Annie enjoyed paddling around Inverewe garden with me. Having fun learning to paddle the boats and playing games.
