Martha, Justin, Toby and Jake met me in Gairloch for a paddling session. We started the morning in canoes before moving into kayaks, having a great time in each type of boat.
Alan, Amanda, Thomas, Harry and Matthew met me again this year for another session on the water. We’d paddle from Gairloch Harbour last year, this year we went from nearby on little Loch Shieldaig. Another fun session was had as we played games, saw wildlife and paddled around.
Adam, Joanne, Jacob, Abigail and Noah met me in the morning near the Shieldaig Lodge Hotel for a fun session paddling on the water. They chose to use a mixture of sea kayaks and sit on top kayaks so that they could get a feel for how each type of boat paddles. Whilst finding the sea kayaks were a lot quicker they also found they weren’t quite so good for any games.
Mark, Finlay and Erica met me at Mellon Charles. We had an atmospheric morning, paddling with cloud hiding the far side of the loch. Despite the cloud we had a great evening paddling around the rocky shoreline and having fun.
Donald, Ceri, Rosie and James met me on a sunny afternoon for some paddling and fun. We played games, learnt skills, explored the coastline and looked for wildlife as we paddled around the coastline.
We paddled from Mellon Charles’ boom beach, heading around the coastline and exploring all the nooks and crannies along the way.

Ally, Andrew and Sam were on a trip around the NC500. They made sure to stop off and see the coastline from a different view with me from kayaks. We had a great time seeing the wildlife and coastline.

(Credit for the picture goes to Colin as my waterproof camera had finally taken on a little too much salt water.)

It was a busy day, so I was meeting Emily, Tim, Elliot and George in the evening near the Shieldaig Lodge Hotel. We hadn’t managed to get out the morning before due to the wind speeds so we managed to fit it in now. Like with the rest of the day the midges found us early on, but soon got left behind on land as we paddled away from them. George took a quick dip early on in the session, I think a piranha to the face was partly to blame! Everyone else stayed dryish, ignoring the rain, till the end when Tim and George managed to go for a swim whilst Emily and Elliot kept their balance.
Alistair, Debra, Robert and Alex met me for a good session on the water, we started fighting the midges, but soon moved onto the beach to escape them. We had a good session paddling around the loch and playing games. Being in the shelter of the loch meant it was a little midgy on shore, but it meant we got shelter from the breeze meaning we had lovely calm waters to paddle on.
We met at a midge infested car park, so we all donned midge nets for our chatting at the start – a common look around these parts! Once we got onto the water we left the little pests behind and were able to breath freely. A fun session was had with plenty of games and excitement.
