2025 Inner Hebrides Sea Kayak Trip – Full write-up of first 9 days

This year’s trip was to be the Inner Hebrides, with backup plans to base ourselves from Leachive Caravan Park – Tayvallich in poor weather, but with good conditions, we were to trolly the kayaks onto the ferry at Kennacraig and paddle from Port Askaig on Islay. As usual, the trip was fully booked from early in the year.

With three days to go and high pressure giving ideal conditions for the trip out to the islands, we booked the ferry and planned for a 10 to 12-day trip to make the best of the good weather.
