Despite the poor recent weather we had sunshine, and a wee bit of hail, for a quick paddle around in canoes. The morning was spent with James and Craig becoming competent in manoeuvring their boat through obstacles and against the wind. Well done, hope you enjoyed it.
1ST Wester Ross Air Scouts took to the water again to have fun kayaking on their water skills weekend. The snow and wind didn’t deter them all from having a great time and improving their skills. Even Scout leaders apprehensions where put to the side as they realised that kayaking is fun simple and safe for adults too!
1st Wester Ross Cub Pack on their ‘summer’ paddling trip… It may be May but nobody had told the weather. All the adventurous cubs kept paddling and having fun even though the snow was falling all around. Everyone got to grips with the paddles and showed their skill at catching the ‘piranhas’.
A lazy mornings paddle in Tollaidh Bay with folk trying out canoes and kayaks. Michelle and James found that kayaks can be less stable than canoes; hope you’ve dried out now! Meanwhile Jade zipped around with ease.
Over the weekend 1st Wester Ross Scouts were camping on the shores of Loch Ewe, so it a was perfect opportunity for them to have a splash around in our canoes and kayaks. Although we experienced all the seasons in one day, they all had a good time and hopefully it has inspired them get out paddling again soon.
Box loads of new equipment has recently arrived. Lots of shiny buoyancy aids are being unpacked ready for use.
