Fog, Midges, Porpoises and Dolphins.

On Saturday our small group set out from Kyleakin to head for Uags bothy. We were straight away greeted by some thick sea har, hugging the coastlines. From our lunch break at Port Lunge we got a good blast of sunshine. In the late afternoon, we received a light breeze, which made the paddling harder,...

Watching Thunderstorms

In Early June we organised a trip to the Highland clearance village of Boreraig in Skye. We paddled off from Torrin in full view of Bla Bheinn and paddled south to the village. After a lunch break, we decided to pitch up the tents and have an evening paddle instead of kayaking straight away. The...

Windy Week Sea Kayaking

This week was pretty windy with a constant South-Westerly wind around Skye. This meant that it was hard work paddling at times and that the areas we could go in 5 days was a bit limited. However, we managed to do quite a lot of good sea kayaking including a visit to Eilean Donan castle....

Starting at Kyleakin we encountered quite a few common seals, who were sheltering from the southerly wind on some small islands near Kyle. We got pushed along a few km paddling north towards Plockton. However, we decided...
