Blair kayak, Poolewe
Blair joined me on a breezy morning to explore by kayak rather than on foot for a change on his holiday.

Liz, Louis and Isabella met me in Poolewe for a morning exploring the coastline on Liz’s birthday. Not a bad way to celebrate a notable birthday!
Emelie, Graeme, Finlay and Eilidh met me on a damp afternoon in Gairloch, the greyness and dampness didn’t dampen their spirits and we had a great time paddling around the craggy coastline.
Lynne and Cameron joined me in a smaller group than planned due to a does of chicken pox, the missing family members didn’t stop us having fun as we splashed around the coastline.
Tom, Andrew and Iain joined me for their 8th time on the water. Today we chose to paddle from Poolewe to Aultbea, this meant the lads had less time to splash about in the water but Andrew did find a bit of time just at the end to go for a swim. Probably the longest period I’ve seen them in a kayak without jumping out for a long time! Dolphins swam by as we had our brew on a remote beach – not a bad afternoon.
