Wardrop Kayak, Mellon Charles

Kieran and Heather spent the afternoon exploring the craggy coastline with me whilst on their honeymoon. We had a nice low tide and so managed to spot lots of sea urchins, starfish and other exciting sea creatures.

Kingshott Kayak, Gairloch

Steve and Tom joined me for a kayaking trip whilst on their trip around the NC500. They’re on holiday here from Australia, exploring Scotland. The sunshine and warmth made it look and feel almost like Aus, shame it wasn’t the normal Scottish summer to show them what it’s really like!

Black Kinnell Kayak, Gairloch

Martin and Phil came for a kayak from Gairloch Harbour. They chose to use the sea kayaks and we headed off around the loch to see what we could find along the craggy coastline and in the bays.

Cunningham Smyth Kayak, Mellon Charles

Richard and Mary-Ann had hoped to spend the week fishing as they do most years up here but the distinct lack of rain for the last couple of months has left the rivers a bit low for fishing. Kayaking on the sea was a good alternative!

Cormie Kayak, Mellon Charles

David and Jo met me on a lovely day in Mellon Charles for a paddle around the craggy coastline. Below is just one of the Lion’s Mane jellyfish that we saw along with some of the Moon jellyfish and a Blue jellyfish too.

Hasling Kayak, Gruinard Island

Michael and Penny met me for a paddle around Gruinard Island, an island famous for it’s anthrax past. We had a great paddle with a porpoise jumping past us and seals swimming along with us. Since having a brew on the beach I’ve not noticed any effects from anthrax on my health yet….

Johnston Muirhead Kayak, Shieldaig

Finlay and Iona chose the sit on tops for their session, a great choice for exploring the area on nice stable boats. Some of the seals inquisically followed us around as others ignored us whilst they lazed on the rocks in the sunshine.

Clarke Prout Kayak, Shieldaig

Will and Nicole joined me for a sunny morning paddling. We got to spend our time exploring the coastline whilst being watched by seals. At one point an otter spotted us just after we’d seen him and he disappeared out of sight.

Strachan Kayak, Badachro

Paul and Anne have their own kayaks at home but rather than cart them all the way up here they came out for a paddle with me were they got to try out different boats to their normal ones.

Nico & Co

Nicolas, Morag, John, Marcus and Fabiana came paddling with me in a kayak and canoes. As we paddled around we were able to spot wildlife like this beautiful Lion’s Mane Jellyfish.

Bedford Paddle, Gairloch

Sam, Kevin, Michael, Andrew, Vicky and Amy took to the water in kayaks and a canoe from Gairloch Harbour. As we explored the craggy coastline we had a good time playing some games to test our paddling skills.

McConachi & Co Kayak, Gairloch

Sarah, Nicola, Edel and Greg were spending the week on holiday up here and fancied a change from the normal land based activities. This starfish was just one of the many creatures we spotted under the sea.

Price McEwan Kayak, Mellon Charles

Robert and Marian happened to be staying yards from the ‘boom’ beach in Mellon Charles, it’s from here that we paddled today. There’s some lovely craggy coastline around the coast along with some great clear water.
