Donna and Michael has great calm conditions for their kayak with me. It might be chilly in October but we get some fantastic days!

Silke, Scott and Gerlinde spent an afternoon paddling with me around the coastline at Mellon Charles. They live up in Tongue and run The Bothy B&B but are on a holiday heading down the west coast doing some great activities!

Alison and Emma have paddled with me before numerous times but never from Mellon Charles. We spent time exploring the craggy coastline and since we had a nice low tide we got great views of the wildlife that lives below the waterline.

Fergus and Hannah paddled from Gairloch harbour with me. They chose the sea kayaks to explore the craggy coastline.

Paula, John, Lachlan, Finlay, Struan and Isla had a fun morning paddling around, spotting wildlife and playing games.

A regular family joined me again, this time dragging along a couple of new poor folk. David, Tanya, Robbie, Cal, Frank and Hannah spent an energetic afternoon paddling with me at Mellon Charles. Just before the end of the session we bumped into two otters swimming about and then sat on rocks.

Richard, Linda, Jessica and Jake joined me on a breezy but sunny day paddling. We explored the craggy coastline between beaches, spotting starfish as we went.

Stuart, Mairi and Ailsa enjoyed a morning paddling kayaks around a very calm Inverewe garden. We learnt some skills, had some fun and explored the areas you can’t get to without a boat.

Paul and Kay enjoyed spotting seals as we paddled on very calm water – mirror like in fact!

Eleanor and Chris had very calm seas to paddle around Inverewe garden. As we got to Camas Glas we spotted a huge white tailed eagle above, he then landed on the rocks just in front of us and sat there watching us for about half an hour. Was he hungry, was he sizing us up?…

Elaine and Paul spent a damp morning learning some skills and exploring the coastline. As normal there were seals watching us watching them!

Nick had a full day stuck with me paddling around the islands of Loch Maree. The forecast was for rain and a bit of wind, we got the rain but had a very calm day wind wise. Despite the rain it was a great day, very atmospheric!

Brain and Suzanne had a good afternoon paddling around Inverewe to see the seals and lean skills.

Sarah, Calum, Greg, Roddy, Rachel and Fay spent paddled with me. Most of them have paddled with me previously, for some reason they still came back!

Lynette and Megan kayaked with me on a slightly grey day. Despite the lack of sunshine it was still a great afternoon exploring.

Deney and Harriet spent the morning in Poolewe, kayaking around the shoreline of Inverewe garden.

Not quite a real session, it was my mum’s birthday and they were up for the week so we went for a canoe to a remote beach to have coffee and cake (great cake from Coast Coffee!).

Mark, Caroline, Chris, Leanne and Alex spent the morning on very calm water with me. We paddled from the harbour at Gairloch, just a short distance from where they were staying.
