The real adventure of sea kayaking!
These are two day guided paddles in some of Scotland’s finest paddling locations, focussing on developing skills for true independence on the sea. Paddlers on these courses will be working towards the Sea Kayak or Coastal Sea Kayak Award and will be encouraged to become involved in planning as well as enjoying the wonderful journeys by sea around Scotland’s amazing coast.
This year I will be looking at the amazing Arisaig Peninsula where there are some incredible beaches, stunning views out to the small isles and a range of amazing sea lochs and sights to enjoy.
Alternatively the Caithness coast near Tongue provides astonishing caves, sea arches and castles if the conditions are right.
What you need to take
You should take your own personal kayaking equipment but a kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid and spraydeck can be provided at an additional cost of £40 per person for the duration of the course. Consider this kit list before deciding what to bring.
This is for progressing paddlers or intermediate paddlers. Requires a minimum of four booked to run the course.
Camping
I will be based at a campsite near to the paddling location and would encourage you to book there or close by. Generally camping should be booked for the Friday evening to allow for some planning time and an early start of the Saturday morning. Further planning on the Saturday should allow us to paddle from a different location on Sunday morning before departure.
Location
Locations will depend on the group, the weather and what the paddlers are hoping to see.
British Canoeing Sea Kayak Award
